Roll Call Tribute

Glenn Bridges 

July 15, 1952 - September 17, 2025 

Glenn Bridges, born on July 15, 1952, in Malden, Massachusetts, was sent to his eternal home with Jesus after passing on September 17, 2025 in Deer Park, Texas. He was the beloved son of Charles and Helen Bridges, who preceded him in death.

Glenn is survived by his loving family, including his sisters Marie and Barbara, his brother Alvin, his brothers-in-law, William and Joe, and his sister-in-law, Ann. He was the cherished Uncle Glenn-y-Boy of Kevin, Katie, Christopher, Curtis, Leslie-Ann, Ashley, Joseph, and Daniel, and their spouses Joey, Meredith, Sarah, Bryan, Cameron, and Kelsey. He also leaves behind his TWENTY-FIVE Great Nieces and Nephews who absolutely adored him. 

After his graduation from Galena Park High School, Glenn graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education, and went on to pursue a Master of Education in Educational Administration from Texas A&M University. He taught for thirty-five years at Whitcomb Elementary in Clear Creek ISD, and retired in 2008. He then became a full-time sub at Deer Park High School for roughly fifteen years, where he was affectionately known as the "Weatherman". He was dearly loved by the staff and students, and was often voted teacher of the week, month, and year! His relationship with Jesus brought light to those around him, and his joyful and generous spirit impacted thousands of people during his incredible career as an educator.

Glenn was driven by love, compassion, and an unwavering faith in Jesus. He was so very intentional, and spent much of his time writing notes, cards, and words of encouragement to those he loved. He was always a listening ear, and made every person he came into contact with feel important. Glenn was an avid lover of American and Texas History, American currency, weather, Whataburger, Luby's, Westerns, and musicals! He was extremely artistic and creative, and generously poured these gifts into the people he loved.

Those who knew Glenn will remember him for his deep-rooted faith in Jesus, his infectious smile and overwhelming laughter, and his selflessness. He had a rare gifting from the Lord for making others feel seen and loved, and he left a lasting impact on all who crossed his path. His passing has left a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by him. We ask that you remember him for the way his life was lived - for Jesus and for others.

Funeral Service will be held 10:00 AM Friday, September 26, 2025 at Grace Bible Church, 6325 Hurst Street, Houston, Texas 77008.
