Glen C. McDonald was born on April 9, 1963, in Minneapolis, the son of Arch and LaDonna (Gaard)McDonald. After graduating from Blue Earth High School in 1981, he jointed the U.S. Army where he proudly served his country as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne and as a Drill Sergeant. Upon retirement from the Army, he became an independent owner and operator trucker and hauled “cold, dead, naked chickens” across southeast portion of the United States. He enjoyed his family and didn’t think twice about driving hundreds of miles to a family gathering. Glen also enjoyed barbeque and spent many hours contemplating the perfect beef brisket or shoulder roast, while masterfully basting fall apart pork ribs.

Glen is survived by two children, Thomas McDonald, of Fayetteville, N.C. and Gavin McDonald of Charlotte, N.C.; two sisters, Peggy (Matt) Anderson of Webster City, Iowa, and Susan McDonald (Paul Bonney), of Smithfield, VA.; two brothers Eugene (Linda) McDonald of Eagan, and John (Deb) McDonald, of Blue Earth.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother, Thomas Arch.

A memorial service and interment service was held on January 5, 2013 in the Chestnut Grove Cemetery in York, Al.
