Born on July 21, 1943, in Canyon to George and Cynthia Shepard, Glenn lived a life rooted in hard work, kindness, family, and community. Glenn grew up in Happy, where he graduated from high school in 1963. He shared a close bond with his siblings throughout his life. He was preceded in death by his brothers George Jr. Shepard, Henry Shepard, and Carl Shepard. He is survived by his sisters Cynthia Sue Doss, Dorothy Berry, and Vera Johnson.
On August 23, 1968, Glenn married the best wife in the world, Wanda Yvonne Griggs. Together they built a strong and loving family that remained the center of his world for 57 years.
Glenn is survived by his daughter, Tracy Dawn Titus and husband Oscar Molano; and his son, Adam Wayne Shepard and wife Jeannie Shepard. He was a proud grandfather to Whitney Alexandria Moyers and husband Dustin Moyers, Trenton Titus, Kelsey Shelton and husband Matthew Shelton, Tyler Shepard and wife Michelle Shepard, and Cibrian Molano and wife Alicia Molano.
He was also blessed with great-grandchildren Khloe Simental, Kylie Shelton, Aaron Shepard, Anthony Moyers, and Mackenzie Brady, all of whom brought immense joy to his life. Glenn dedicated many years of hard work to Crowe-Gulde, Featherlite, and Acme Brick, where he faithfully worked for 33 years before retiring in 2016.
Outside of work, Glenn was known for his servant’s heart and generous spirit. He coached softball, basketball, and baseball for his children and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He loved fishing, bowling, gambling, and cheering on the Dallas Cowboys. More than anything, Glenn loved his family deeply and wholeheartedly. He was immensely loved and respected by all who knew him. His strength, humor, loyalty, and kindness will never be forgotten. Glenn’s presence filled every room with warmth, and his legacy will continue through the family and friends who cherished him.
He will be greatly missed and forever remembered.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to any Alzheimer’s or dementia research foundation in Glenn’s honor.
