     Glenn Reno Drake passed away on Thursday, July 30, 2026, living 90 wonderful years. He is now with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
     Private Graveside Services will be held at Payne Cemetery, Fulton Twp., MI, to celebrate Glenn meeting our Lord.
     Glenn enjoyed raising his family while farming and working in construction in the Middleton area for most of his life. He had a love for sports, and especially enjoyed playing church softball. One of his greatest joys was watching his children and grandchildren participate in sports and cheering them on from the sidelines. Glenn also loved spending time outdoors, especially hunting and camping, creating many cherished memories with family and friends.
