Glen was born and raised in northern Louisiana and loved everything it offered. He could have been a spokesperson for the true meaning of Louisiana, the sportsman’s paradise. Glen was an outdoor man 100 percent. He loved to fish, hunt, and play in the mud with trucks and 4 wheelers. He was also a fan of the New Orleans Saints. He loved to sit around the fire and “shoot the breeze” with family and friends. Glen had many friends, and he loved to spend time with them all. He had a heart as big as he was, always there when needed. Glen was the true meaning of being a Bagwell – strong as any but also humble and kind. He would drop what he was doing to go to the rescue of anyone in need. Glen was a simple man with simple needs and enjoyed living his simple life. Glen was preceded in death by his sister, Kay Thompson.
