Devoted husband and father was taken from us in an industrial accident in Texas City while working for Jacobs Engineering as a Scheduler.

Visitation for family and friends will be held from 12:30 to time of services at Hillier Funeral Home, Bryan, Texas. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, March 29th at 2 p.m. at Hillier Funeral Home. Interment will follow at College Station Cemetery.

Glenn was born on September 2, 1954 to Venon and Clara Bolton in San Antonio, Texas.

While attending Robert E. Lee High School, he was an active member and officer in the ROTC program and Wrestling Team.

Glenn attended and graduated from Dodge City Junior College, Dodge City, Kansas on a wrestling scholarship. Glenn went on to attend classes and graduate from Wichita State in 1989 with a degree in Business Aviation Management.
During his time at school he met and fell in love with Renae Cranston. In 1991 they married in Wichita, Kansas.

Glenn had many talents, but his greatest joy in life was his family. He was a hands- on Daddy active in every aspect of his children's lives - Indian Princesses, Gymnastics, camping trips and photographing "his girls". Glenn was an incredible giver and would do anything for anybody. He was a wonderful caretaker of others, always finding ways to make life fun. He loved planning surprises and over-the-top events that made everyone feel loved. Glenn was passionate about life and his views. He loved politics and world news, and would debate to the end if someone would take him up on it. He had an incredible ability to fix anything from broken toys to broken hearts. He was involved in the community and built several Habitat for Humanity homes in the Brazos Valley. His love for the hi-tech inspired him to have the latest computer and photography equipment, of which he wasted no time to share with his family. Glenn Bolton was greatly loved and will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his loving wife, Renae Bolton and their children, Alexandria Nicole Bolton and Ashley Nicole Bolton of College Station, and Marta Gulbe Bolton of Austin. His mother, Clara Bolton of San Antonio; brother and sister-in-law, James Paul Fritz and Alex Diaz of Fort Collins, Colorado; sister and brother-in-law, Karen and Sam Sams of San Antonio, Texas. In addition, he leaves his mother-in-law, Susan Mason of College Station, Texas; father-in-law and wife, Stanley and Sharon Cranston of Littleton, Colorado; and brother-in-law, Michael Cranston of Wichita, Kansas; as well as cousins and innumerable friends.
