Gerald (Jerry) Michael Glenn
Gerald (Jerry Glenn) Michael Glenn, 66, of Overland Park, KS passed away suddenly on March 18, 2024. His family is profoundly saddened.
Jerry was born Feb. 26, 1958 to Warren G and Velma E. Glenn in Kansas City, MO. He grew up near 71st and Metcalf in Overland Park, KS as one of six children: Patricia Jenson, James (Dell), Robert (Karen), Don (Kim), and Donna. As the youngest brother, he loved and admired his siblings. All attended Queen of the Holy Rosary School and then Bishop Miege H.S.
Jerry attended Pittsburg State where he majored in accounting. After passing the CPA exam he worked and traveled the country as a KS state auditor until accepting a job as an assistant controller at KU Med. He worked more than 20 years as associate controller with co-workers who became close friends.
A devoted husband and father, Jerry enjoyed spending time with his wife, Deborah Chiles Glenn, and supporting his boys, Michael, 31, San Francisco, CA and Kevin, 21, a KU junior. He loved his view from the bleachers as his sons swam for the Kansas City Blazers over a 25-year period before swimming at the Univ. of Massachusetts and LSU.
An avid, yet long-suffering KC Chiefs fan, he was thrilled to share the team’s recent successes with his sons.
Jerry’s friends and family joined together for a funeral mass on Tuesday, March 26 at St. Michael the Archangel. Debbie, Michael, Kevin, and Chief deeply appreciate your support during this difficult time and ask that contributions be made to the Gerald Glenn Memorial Scholarship Fund in lieu of flowers at https://everloved.com/life-of/gerald-glenn/?flow=201.
