Glenn Winter Obituary

Age - 76

August 26, 2023

Grain Valley, MO

Glenn Damon Winter of Blue Spring, MO passed away on Saturday, August 19th at the age of 76. He was born in Clarinda, Iowa to Dorothy Earle (Wright) and Rollo Wesley Winter on June 8, 1947. Damon graduated from Miami High School, Amoret, MO in 1965 and received his Associate's Degree from Fort Scott College, Kansas. In his youth Damon was an active member of 4H, played the trumpet in the band, and sang in the men's quartet, double quartet and choir. Out of college Damon worked a number of years for the Gas Service Company, Kansas City, before becoming owner and operator of G. D. Winter Trucking, LLC, running his business until his retirement in 2020. Damon cared deeply for his coworker's well-being and went out of his way to ensure their care and that they felt a part of the family. He attended Odessa Community of Christ and cherished the friendships he made there. Although his career was in trucking, Damon's heart never left the farming life he grew up with, and kept close ties to the farming community. He could identify any tractor, enjoyed talking about different crops, loved a good bonfire at the farm, and always enjoyed a thick cut of ham or steak. Favorite memories with Damon include endless KC Chiefs games, unexpected times when he stepped out of his quiet demeanor to give a surprise scare, sprinting towards Space Mountain at Disney World to be the first ones on the ride for the day, and the silent shaking of his head when kids or grandkids were up to shenanigans. Damon's grandchildren appreciated his quiet caring, support of their endless activities, and of course will always fondly recall his critique of their lawn mowing skills. Damon was preceded in death by his parents, brother Donald Winter, and just recently in May of 2023 by the love of his life and wife of 50 years, Sharon Yvonne Winter. He has left a wonderful legacy in his three children, Richard Wilson (Carrie), Greg Wilson (Kathy) and Julie Torpey (Noel); grandchildren, Drew Wilson (Lauren), Eli Wilson (Kellie), Evan Wilson, Ian Wilson, Addison Wilson, Hannah Wilson, Hayden Torpey, Ishbel Wilson and Dawson Torpey; great-grandchildren, Aniston and Bennett; brother Ron Winter (Nancy), and brothers-in-law Pete Jones (Nancy) and Sheldon Jones (Shelley), and several cousins, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. Services will be Friday, September 8th, 2023, with visitation at 10:00 am and celebration of life at 11:00 am at Royer Funeral Home (100 Royer Lane Grain Valley, Missouri 64029). Graveside service will follow at Floral Hills East (25203 E US Highway 50, Lees Summit, MO 64086). In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through this link: Obituary submitted by family.

Age - N/A

November 3, 2023

Gary Fanning left his earthly home on October 24, 2023, surrounded by his loving family. Gary worked hard throughout his life and excelled in everything he did. Prior to his retirement, he held various marketing positions in the corporate insurance industry, where he used his gregarious personality, communication and managerial skills. As an energetic personality, when he wasn't traveling for work, he was playing golf, viewing sports, doing household projects, or cooking up a new dish for friends and family. Unbeknownst to many, he put time and energy into humbly helping others. He coached baseball, chaperoned events and volunteered for whatever was needed for his wife's students. Between career demands, he fed the homeless, cooked, served and delivered food to the needy and provided other charitable service through his church. Before his illness, he helped with his in-law's elder care as he brought them meals, made household repairs, ran errands, transported them, all while making them laugh with his light-hearted attitude. His kids meant a lot to him and he was a fun and easy-going dad. In his earlier years, he rarely missed their games, recitals or theatrical performances. He often transported them along with their friends wherever and whenever they wanted to go. He was also a fun grandparent, who loved his grandkids and the activity and laughter that surrounded them. This was the Gary we all knew and loved for the majority of his life and how he lived before he became ill. He often said he was very grateful for having lived such a great life! He will be missed by his wife, kids, grandchildren and friends. A private celebration of life dinner will be held for his family, as he requested. The family would like to thank everyone for their love, support and prayers. .Show more
