Glenn Toles was born in Dallas, Texas on November 27, 1958, and departed from this life on March 19, 2014 in St. Louis, Missouri, at the age of 55. He was preceded in death by his birth parents, Louis Toles and Geraldine Laverne Rosamond Issacs, who were both born in Texas. He is survived by his brother Tim Toles and sister-in-law Maura Toles, who reside in Dublin Ireland, his sister Marsha Martin and brother-in-law Ernie Martin who reside in Texas, and his sister Natasha Geddie and her fiancé Mark Rinehart, who reside in Texas. Glenn has several nephews and nieces, cousins, aunts and close friends in and around St. Louis, Missouri and Duncanville, Texas who all miss him, and have been shocked to hear of his untimely and unexpected death.

Glenn grew up and attended schools in Duncanville, Texas, before moving to Houston as a teenager where he worked for several years supporting himself as an apartment painter. He later moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where he was employed for many years as an apartment complex maintenance man. He had a talent for being able to fix things, was an avid sports enthusiast, a hard worker, natural musician and loyal fan of rock and roll. He had a wicked sense of humor, and never hesitated to share his conservative political outlook on life via Twitter or Facebook. Glenn was recently employed by Partnership for Downtown St. Louis.
