R. Glenn's Journey Through the Fire

In his lifetime, R. Glenn's has been through the fire. He experienced an unfaithful spouse and an unwanted divorce early in life. He would remarry and witness the glorious birth of his son and only child, yet devastated when informed his newborn had a rare and often terminal congenital heart defect. This would necessitate numerous open-heart surgeries and living in and out of medical facilities for months at a time throughout the first several years of his child's life. R. Glenn would soon lose his dear and loving mother, who passed away unexpectedly from an diagnosed condition while still at a very young age. Then, in what seemed like the blink of an eye, a very nasty and aggressive cancer would take his hero, mentor, and father. It would only be a short time after that when the frail heart of R. Glenn's son would unexpectedly fail. Although he had been given a prognosis for full life after the earlier surgical interventions, one sad morning in June of 2013, he would take his final breath in his father's loving arms. R. Glenn has been through the fire!

Throughout his life, R. Glenn has served as a U.S. Marine, Police Officer, Federal Agent and successful Business Executive. Today, he remains the proud Father of his late son Jonathan Taylor Kelly.
