Glenn was born at home on April 3, 1938, in Lincoln County, TN, to the late Van Buren Currin and Helen Pauline Commons Currin. A 1956 graduate of Central High School in Fayetteville, he served his country in the United States Army. Glenn spent his entire career in the electrical industry, working as a lineman for Fayetteville Electric, TVA, AEDC, and Redstone Arsenal.
A lifelong member of Fayetteville First Baptist Church, Glenn was deeply committed to his faith and community. He was known for his love of the outdoors and was an avid hunter and gun enthusiast. Glenn also enjoyed woodworking, telling stories, and cheering on the Atlanta Braves and the Tennessee Volunteers. He was a proud American, a devoted Lincoln Countian, and a man who never met a stranger. He was dearly loved by all who knew him. Glenn passed away on June 27, 2025, at HH Lincoln Health in Fayetteville.
He is survived by his sons, Donnie (Rhonda) Currin, Rick (Theresa) Currin, and Steve Currin; step-daughter, Kathy Kent; grandchildren, Thomas (Hanna) Currin, Alisha (Chris) Dunnavant, Travis (Kelsey) Currin, Kayla Currin (Tareq Hindiyeh), Stefanie (Joey) Worden, Elizabeth Currin, Ritchie Conner, Justice Conner, Jessica (Jason) Justice, and Maegan (Josey) Knowles; and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, church family, friends, and the Possom Hollow Gang.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Edith Burch Currin; daughter-in-law, Penny Currin; brothers, Charles Van Currin, Gene Paul Currin, and Donald Robert Currin; and his faithful canine companion, Ginger.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Fayetteville First Baptist Church Love Offering, 210 Elk Ave. N., Fayetteville, TN 37334, or to the church of your choice.
The family extends their heartfelt appreciation to the dedicated staff of HH Lincoln Health, Donalson Care Center, and Lincoln Home Health and Hospice for the exceptional care and compassion shown to Glenn.

Ricky, Donnie, and Steve,
I’m so sad to read the passing of your dad. I remember him when y’all lived down the street and more of him working at Fayetteville Electric System. He was a good man. I always liked him and your mom.

My name is William Stephen DeMardes. I am in Nashville. I am Charles Van Currin SR brother-in-law. Charlie married my sister Mary. I remember the Chihuahua he had, and it reminded me of my Chihuahua (Lonzo), when I lived in Arizona. Sad to hear Glenn passing.

Met Mr Currin for the first time last November at Donaldson while my mother in law was there. We talked only 20 min about hunting and guns. He was a very nice gentleman.it was a short discussion but I will never forget him and his excitement for hunting.
God Bless and peace to you Donnie and Ricky.
So sorry for your loss.
