Obituary of Glennon Emmett King
IN THE CARE OF

Palm Cheyenne Mortuary

It is with profound sadness we share the passing of our beloved father, Glennon Emmett King, who left us on October 17, 2024, at the age of 81. Glenn was surrounded by his family in his final moments. Glenn was a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada at the time of his passing.

Glenn was a man of immense wisdom and humor. His passion for music, fly fishing, golf, Harley Davidson Motorcycles, exploring Yellowstone National Park and his priceless life advice will forever be remembered.

Glenn was a graduate of Redondo Beach High School in California and continued to University Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) where he earned his master’s degree in finance. In his profession, he was the vice president of finance at Santa Anita Racetrack, a professor of finance at the University of La Verne, California, and went on to be a finance executive of Tiberti Construction in Las Vegas from where he retired.

Glenn is survived by his wife, his 3 children, 6 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren, along with countless family members and friends who felt his endless generosity. We will all continue to honor his memory.

In his final wishes, he asked his children to place his ashes in the Pacific Ocean where Glenn will join his father, Glennon senior. Glenn did not want a formal service.
