John Glass
John Glass, 66, a 30-year resident of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, died on Saturday October 24, 2018, after a 12-day battle with pancreatic cancer. John had struggled with progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for almost 30 years.
Formerly of Marion, John was a 1970 graduate of Elgin High School and a football letterman. While in Ohio, John sold insurance and autos. After moving to Colorado, he continued in the automobile business in finance and sales. He was a member of the Glenwood Springs Elks Lodge, enjoyed the annual MS Walk, and enjoyed regular trips to the Glenwood Hot Springs. Prior to the progression of MS, John loved skiing in Aspen and Sunlight Mountain, hiking, and boating which are the reasons he loved Colorado and made it home since 1979.
John is survived by his daughter, Heather Diehl, and grandchildren Caitlin and Jaeger, all of Oregon; and sister Peggy (Jerry) Kuntzman of Galena, and 5 nieces, great nieces and great nephews of Ohio and Georgia.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Melvin and Mary Glass, and brothers, Dan and Frank.
