Glennon Earl Edwards, known affectionately to friends and family as Pete, passed away on September 9, 2024, at the age of 90. Born on May 12, 1934, in Cardwell, Missouri.

Pete was a man of many talents and interests, but he was particularly renowned as a skilled cement contractor. His craftsmanship and dedication to his trade were evident in his work that spanned over 56 years in the Thumb of Michigan. His work was not just a job but a testament to his creative spirit and his commitment to building a stronger community.

Beyond his professional life, Pete was a man with a zest for life's simple pleasures. He had a passion for fishing, where he found tranquility and joy in the patience and stillness it required. Music and dancing were sources of great happiness for him, and his voice could often be heard singing along to his favorite tunes. Pete's love for singing was only matched by his enthusiasm for a good gamble, whether it was a friendly bet or a night at the casino.

One of Pete's most cherished activities was throwing his annual yard party. It was a time when he could share his love for life with those closest to him. Friends, family, and neighbors would gather around, creating memories that would last a lifetime, all thanks to Pete's generous spirit.

Pete's creative and friendly nature was the glue that held his life together. He is survived by his loving children, Floyd Edwards, Wanda (Michael) Metro, and his special granddaughter, Summer Palmer. His legacy continues to live on through his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, each of whom he adored immensely. He is also survived by his close friends Jimmy and Cindy.

Pete was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Alta Edwards, and his cherished companion, Carolyn. Each of them held a special place in his heart, and their memories were a constant source of comfort and strength throughout his life.

Pete's absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him. His friendly demeanor, generous heart, and creative soul made him a beloved figure in his community. As we say goodbye to Glennon Earl Edwards, we celebrate a life well-lived, full of love, laughter, and the joy of shared experiences. Pete's story is not one of sorrow but a beautiful tapestry woven with the threads of the countless lives he touched. He will be profoundly missed, but the warmth of his memory will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
