Glenn David Taylor
Glenn David Taylor, age 79, passed away peacefully at home on Thanksgiving morning, November 27, 2025, in St. Louis Missouri. A lifelong resident of St. Louis, Glenn was born on March 15, 1946, to George E. Taylor and Arlene (Burlew) Taylor.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 25 years, Carolyn (Withington), whom he cherished deeply. Glenn is also lovingly remembered by his son Michael (Angie) Taylor and daughter Daphne (Hung) Tran, his grandchildren Lauren, Luke, Logan, Xavier and Azele and his dear great-grandchildren, his sister Barbara (Gary) Riepl, brothers Paul (Trudie) Taylor and Dale (Rita) Taylor. He is further survived by his nieces, nephews, cousins, dear friends and neighbors who miss him dearly.
Glenn graduated from Jennings High School 1964 and went on to earn his degree from University of Missouri 1968. A faithful Mizzou fan, he proudly supported the Tigers. He enjoyed sharing stories of his days in teaching grade school and went on to work many successful years for World Book.
He delighted in spending time with others – be it entertaining at their lake house or cozy home in the city. Glenn was an avid reader, as his library of books reveals, and also was a master of many board games. In fact, he hosted a weekly trivia quiz that many of his friends and family enjoyed. Glenn also liked collecting baseball caps from various travels and wrist watches.
Glenn dearly loved his pet dogs and cats. Donations in memory of Glenn can be given to the animal rescue organization of your choice.
A Celebration of Glenn’s Life will be held in the future.
Glenn was a special friend and neighbor. He was full of life and always in good spirits. He is and will be missed and I was fortunate to know him.
Glenn was our fun Uncle! We have so many great memories through the years. He was always up to speed on the latest greatest new thing… like Pong, MTV. He had a silver Christmas tree when we were growing up. We really enjoyed those fun trips to the Ozarks. I remember him in his RV for those long ago trips and then later he and Carol had a nice place of their own. We loved the fun times and I am so happy my kids were able to know him. We will miss him.
