AWREY, Glenn Howard

Passed away May 11, 2024 at Bethell Hospice at the age of 59. Son of Howard and Doreen Awrey; Dear brother of Hope and Paul (Jackie). Cherished uncle of Candace and Nigel Awrey. Glenn will also be greatly missed by other relatives and many friends. Glenn was quite efficient in Computer Science during his lifetime. He faced death 3 times; first while playing in the water at Wasaga Beach with his sister and brother, at the age of 3 in a pontoon rubber boat, an off shore wind blew Glenn and the boat out into the Bay, by the time a rescue boat reached him he was 1 mile off shore; second while sleigh riding late winter one day, Glenn aged 3-4 rode down a hill and was heading for the open water of the Credit River, we yelled ‘roll off’ and he did 5 feet from the waters edge; and third facing a serious illness at age 59, Glenn fought hard but Cancer won. Private family burial – Huxley Cemetery on Thursday, May 16th, 2024. Memorial donations to Bethell Hospice Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family. A tree will be planted in memory of Glenn in the Dods & McNair Memorial Forest at the Island Lake Conservation Area, Orangeville. 22nd Annual Dedication Service will be held on Sunday, September 8, 2024 at 2:00pm.
