Chaley Glenn Tucker III was born May 18, 1955 in Salida, Colorado to parents Chaley Glenn Tucker, Junior and Mary Lou Wright Tucker. He went by Chaley to some, but his family knew him as Glenn. He graduated from Choctaw High School in 1973 before attending Oklahoma State University. He retired in 2014 following thirty-plus years of civil service at Tinker Air Force Base. He was the beloved husband of Melanie Tucker, whom he knew in high school; however, it wasn't until they were reacquainted in January 2000 that their loving relationship would begin…just after duck season of course. 

When Glenn joined Melanie in life he also embraced her two sons, Daniel Martin, Ben Martin and daughter-in-law Crystal Martin. Like most sons they gave him both grief and joy, but nothing is more joyous than grandchildren. Glenn had special relationships with all of his grandchildren. He could be found riding the lawn mower with grandson Brady, debating who was really the boss with granddaughter Caitlin, playing patty-cake with grandson Jack, or challenging granddaughter Cassidy to a foot race (just to watch her run).

He left this earth on June 10, following a sudden illness. Glenn will live on in our hearts and will forever be missed.

There will be a celebration of Glenn's life on June 24th at 3:00 PM at the Sooner East Church of Christ, 10620 SE 29th , Oklahoma City, OK 73130.
