Glenn Jenkins, 59 of Tyler, died April 15, at Hospice of Tyler. He waged a valient battle against pancreatic cancer for two and a half years. He left behind a devoted wife of 28 years, Pat, and daughters, Stacy Waldrup and Amy Jenkins, and one granddaughter, Ashley Waldrup. Also surviving him are his sister, Faye Williams Garrison, and several nieces and nephews.
Glenn was a open hearted man, a valued friend and neighbor, and a completely devoted family man. They must have coined the phrase "would give you the shirt off his back" after Glenn. He was a member of Colonial Hills Baptist Church at his death. He moved to Tyler in 1962 and worked for Kelly-Springfield until 1975. He then joined the family business and managed The Jewel Box in Broadway Square (mall) until 1996. He also enjoyed a few years of making craft items with his wife and maintained a booth at First Monday Canton Trades Day where he continued to meet and make great friends.
In his spare time Glenn was an avid fisherman and gave one daughter her love for fishing. His long time friends and fishing buddies were pallbearers: Paul Parker, Bobby Stephens, Jessie Caldwell, Merle Hinkle, Greg Majors and Jerry Meadows.
Honorary pallbearers were Gene Autry, Glenn Knight, Jerry Brannon, Bob Stegall, and Carl Jenkins.
