Glen
Wallace passed away peacefully in his home on February 6th, 2022 after
a long battle with Alzheimer's. He was surrounded by family during his last
days.
He
was born at his Grandmothers house in a rural NE Forest Hill, Texas on November
26, 1935 where he developed a strong work ethic and love of horses and family
that carried with him throughout life.
At
the young age of 17, Glen joined the military to help support his parents and younger
siblings, primarily being stationed at Travis Force Base in Fairfield,
California and achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant. It was during this time
that he started a family.
After
leaving the military, Glen worked as an operating engineer for some years
before settling in Colusa County, California where he met and married, Jeanne
Wallace. They spent 41 years together with their shared love of ranching,
horses, and family.
Always
the cowboy, he relished his competition and success in the roping arena and
other activities. He loved spending time with family and friends, nature, and
his beloved horses.
He
is proceeded in death by his parents George and Glenda Wallace and survived by
his loving wife Jeanne Wallace; his younger siblings Merlene, John, Happy, and
Steve Wallace; his children Glenn Jr, Shelley, Robin, Robert, Wayne, and Silas,
twelve grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.
Happy
trails, our favorite cowboy is always along for the ride in our hearts. For as
a cowboy once said, "If there were no valleys of sadness and death, we could
never really appreciate the sunshine of happiness on the mountain top."
