Glenn Duane Draeger entered God’s Kingdom on Monday, June 20th at the age of 87. He passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by family, and under the care of hospice.

Glenn was born on July 1st, 1934, to Leona (Beyer) and Frederick Draeger in the Township of Little Wolf.

Glenn married Susan Young on April 22, 1954, and shortly after, he left to serve in the Korean War. Upon returning home, Glenn and Susan went on to have four children: Pamela, Jennifer, Jeffrey, and Steven. Glenn and Susan lived in Rib Mountain for 50 years and spent the last three years at Birchwood Highlands Apartments in Weston before moving to Primrose Retirement Community in March of this year. Together, they enjoyed traveling, with most memorable trips to Germany, the Holy Lands, and numerous trips to the Cayman Islands.

In addition to being a loving father and husband, Glenn was a dedicated businessman, owning and operating Rib Mountain Hardware as a family business from 1962 -2001. He always had a solution for every problem and was well known within the community.

Throughout his life, Glenn held an unwavering faith in God, which he shared with those who surrounded him. He was actively involved in his church, serving as President and a board member of Rib Mountain Lutheran, and service as an Elder and Usher at Mount Olive Lutheran.

Glenn was blessed with 10 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
