Theodore ("Ted") James Glenn, Jr., 73, of Del Rio, Texas, passed away on June 5, 2026.

Ted was born in Dallas, Texas, and raised in Farwell, Texas. After graduating from Washburn University, he joined the United States Air Force in 1977. His lifelong passion for aviation led him to a distinguished career as a fighter pilot, where he flew both the F-4 Phantom and the F-15 Eagle. Following his military service, Ted continued to share his love of flying by training and mentoring young aviators and providing simulator instruction at Laughlin Air Force Base for over 28 years.

An active member of the Del Rio community, Ted served as president of the Del Rio Dirt Flyers, a local radio-controlled aircraft club. He especially enjoyed traveling the country in their RV with his beloved wife, Gloria, and their two dogs.

Ted and Gloria shared 26 wonderful years of marriage. He is survived by his wife, Gloria; his son, Matt, and daughter-in-law, Anna; three grandchildren; his stepson, Wayne; two step-grandchildren; and his sisters, Sandra Kay Glenn and Deborah Ann Barcroft.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Theodore Glenn, M.D., and Ann Marie Glenn.

Ted will be remembered for his love of aviation, his dedication to mentoring future pilots, and the devotion he showed to his family and friends throughout his life.
