In Memory

Glen Stuart - Class of 1961

Glen L. Stuart passed away unexpectedly on October 3, 2015. Glen was born on April 25, 1943 in Montpelier, ID to George T. and Nina Bacon Stuart.

He was a great husband, father, grandfather and friend. Glen grew up in Montpelier Idaho spending time with family, cousins, and friends. Glen was known for his compassion and generosity. As a young boy, Glen and his father spent many years helping people in the community; whether it was mending fences, cutting wood, or filling freezers full of meat, Glen enjoyed helping anyone in need. At the age of 18, Glen enlisted with the Air Force, where he spent four years serving his country as an on board air mechanic. After being honorably discharged, Glen returned to Montpelier, where he worked for the Montpelier sheriff's department and Bear Lake County search and rescue. He met his sweetheart, Janet Wuthrich, and later married her on August 1, 1970. Together they had a son, Michael Glen Stuart.

Glen had a special way of connecting with people. The instant you met him, you fell in love. There wasn't a place he could go, that he wouldn't run into someone he knew. He had many wonderful friends, especially those in Bear Lake. Some of his most cherished days were spent with his family at his home in Bear Lake, having coffee with friends, riding horses in the country, and joking around. There was never a dull moment when Glen was around. His quick wit and charming personality could light up any room. He was very proud of his family and enjoyed talking about them to anyone who would stop and listen. Glen was especially proud of his son, Mike, whom he considered his best friend. They spent most of their time doing anything outdoors from working in the yard, to hunting and fishing. Glen was a man who knew the true meaning of hard work and dedication. One of his greatest dreams was to build a place where his family could spend time together. He spent many years working on his beautiful home and made a special place that will be cherished for years to come.

Glen is survived by his son Mike (Brooke); three grandchildren, Ambrey, Saige, and Grayson; and sister, Ann Rex.
