Glen Weeks Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Glen Weeks passed away late in the evening of February 12th, 2022. He was born on September 23rd, 1955 in Hialeah, Florida. He was the beloved son of Bill and Lois Weeks and the youngest of his two siblings, Billy and Joanne. He married the love of his life, Cindy Blackwelder, in 1976 and they went on to have four kids - Ashley, Amy, April, and Andy. Glen was passionate about his job and worked over four decades in the field of aerospace manufacturing primarily at Pratt & Whitney where he had a tremendous impact throughout his tenure. He also spent nearly two decades teaching night school as a college professor where he went out of his way to help his students – even surprising his classes with pizza on the last day of class. In his free time, he loved being outside whether it was on the beach or in his boat. He loved to go backcountry fishing in the Keys, Chokoloskee, and in Jupiter. Despite his seemingly endless knack for talents small and large, from tying flies to designing rocket engines, what he did better than anything else in the world was love and support his family. He was a dedicated husband and hopeless romantic who met his future wife as a young man in high school and never wavered from their incredible journey together. As a dad, he was sensitive and patient. He taught his three daughters and one son what a good work ethic looks like, what it means to feel unconditional love, and what compassion looks like. As a grandpa, he matched his grandkids’ energy with an endless reservoir for swimming, wrestling, and playing. While there was still so much Glen had left to teach us all, we’re beyond lucky for the time we did have on earth with him. Even though we are all heartbroken to not have him with us here, it seems unthinkable now but one day in the future our memories of him will be met with a smile on the mouth before a tear in the eye just as he would have wanted. To celebrate our beloved Glen’s life, there will be a service at Taylor and Modeen Funeral Home in Jupiter, Florida on Thursday, February 17th, 2022.
