Glenn R. Denara

Glenn Denara, of Wellington, Florida, and formerly Long Island, New York, passed away on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at the age of 63.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Janet; his cherished daughters, Danielle and Jessica; his father, Joseph Sr; his brothers, Joseph Jr. and David; and many extended family members and dear friends who will miss him deeply.

Glenn's greatest gift was making people feel comfortable, included, and welcomed. With a larger-than-life personality and a generous heart, he had a remarkable way of making everyone he met feel seen, welcomed, and important. To know Glenn was truly to love him.

Born into a close-knit family, Glenn lived a life defined by love, laughter, loyalty, and unwavering devotion to those he cared about most. He brought warmth, energy, and joy wherever he went. Whether sharing a story, lending a helping hand, or simply spending time with family and friends, Glenn had a unique ability to create meaningful connections.

Glenn was especially proud of his career helping financial organizations with their technical infrastructure buildout, and upon retirement, being the owner of a successful book retail business.

Even during Glenn’s fight with lung and various other cancers, he demonstrated love, courage, dignity, unwavering resilience, and determination to live. He loved family, friends, food, and anything that made being alive so special, but most of all, Glenn loved people and to talk with them about.. anything. Glenn’s most enjoyable moments were planning family vacations, watching his daughter’s sport games, attending concerts, boating, and enjoying Janet’s cooking, exclaiming, “this is the best you ever made!”

While his family mourns the loss of a truly extraordinary man, they find comfort in the love he shared so freely and the lasting impact he had on everyone who knew him. They will forever cherish his gift for telling an engaging story, his contagious laugh that could fill a room, and the warm hugs that made everyone feel instantly at home. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and in the simple yet powerful kindness he extended to others every day.

He will be remembered always, loved forever, and missed beyond measure. In Glenn’s words, “always be kind, be grateful, and be humble!”
