Glenn Edward Johnson, a dedicated father and respected member of the law enforcement community, passed away on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at CHI St. Vincent Hospital in Hot Springs. He was born on November 11, 1968, in Hampton, Arkansas.

He was a 1987 graduate of Hampton High School where he excelled as a student and athlete. He was by far one of the most popular students to walk the halls of Hampton High School.

He enlisted in the United States Army on June 3, 1987, and served until September 1987. He re-enlisted on March 6, 1991, and was honorably discharged on July 29, 1994.

Glenn's contributions to law enforcement started as a Deputy Jailer with the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department for 23 years from December 11, 1997, until he retired on January 5, 2022. His colleagues remember him as a man of integrity, always willing to lend a helping hand and offer guidance.

He was a loving father to his daughters LeAnn and Isis, as well as, his bonus children. He taught and modeled self-respect and respect for others. His warm smile and kind heart touched the lives of many, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew him.

He was an avid fisherman who would spend countless hours at the water's edge. He knew the best fishing spots and enjoyed every opportunity to fish. He enjoyed watching college football and being in the company of his family and friends. Glenn leaves a legacy of compassion, strength, and unwavering commitment to serving and protecting his community.

Though he may no longer walk among us, his spirit and legacy will live on in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him. Glenn was preceded in death by his parents Lynn Johnson and Lillie Mae Hegler Langley; and two sisters, Debra L. Johnson and Mary A. Johnson.
