Glenn ROSENOW

June 8, 2006

ROSENOW Glenn Joachim Rosenow of Red Deer passed away suddenly at his home on Sunday, June 4, 2006 at the age of 48 years. Glenn was born on July 28, 1957 and grew up in Guelph, Ontario. He graduated from John F. Ross High School in 1975 and shortly thereafter, moved to Red Deer, Alberta to apprentice as a carpenter under his brother Gary. He considered Red Deer to be the ideal place to live because of its proximity to some of the world’s best camping, hunting, hiking, fishing and skiing. Many enjoyable motorcycle trips through the Rockies with friends and family fuelled his passion for the outdoors. After attaining his interprovincial standing as a journeyman carpenter, he worked along with his brother to build many spec and custom homes in the Red Deer area. In the mid 1980’s, Glenn worked on many large commercial and industrial projects in both Ontario and Alberta. For the past thirteen years Glenn has been employed as a supervisor for Phoenix Construction Inc. in Red Deer, and worked on many local projects. Glenn was well liked and well respected by all who knew him. He was a devoted and loving father to his children, who were the centre of his universe. Glenn is survived by his children; Kurt and Krista Rosenow of Red Deer, his mother, Margarete Rosenow of Red Deer, his brother, Gary and sister-in-law, Lynne of Ponoka, niece, Kimberley Nichols and her children, Judea and Lukas of Blackfalds, nephew, Brendan Rosenow of Red Deer and many cousins in Germany and Canada. He will be lovingly remembered and missed by all who knew him. In keeping with Glenn’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a Memorial Service will be held at the Red Deer Funeral Home (6150 - 67 Street) on Thursday, June 8, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. Memorial donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation (101, 5208 - 53 Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4N 5K2).
