Glenn Lee Roberts

Glenn Roberts passed away peacefully in his sleep on November 6, 2026. Born on March 23, 1948, Glenn lived a life full of adventure, hard work, and unforgettable memories. He was adopted and raised by his parents Mae and Floyd Roberts. He attended Roosevelt High School in Seattle and was known for being a hardworking, independent man who took pride in learning how to do things himself.

Glenn was never one to shy away from an adventure. Whether it was skydiving, mountain climbing, ice climbing, attending car shows, or enjoying his love for his hot rods, he always found something to keep life interesting. He was also known for his sense of humor, often bringing laughter to those around him, while remaining strong-willed and serious when it mattered. Some of Glenn's greatest friendships were with Rick Mochel and Monty Karnes, who were more like brothers than friends. Through years of adventures, laughter, and memories, and even a biker gang or two. They shared a bond that was truly special.

Glenn took great pride in his work and built a life through determination and perseverance. He also had a special place in his heart for his family, welcoming those he loved as his own and creating lasting memories with the people closest to him. Glenn and his friend Monty, with the help of Glenn’s first wife Marianna, started their Drywall company R&K Drywall in 1972 only a couple of years after welcoming their first and only son William Roberts. He ran it very successfully for 29 years before selling it and retiring.

When Glenn met Tammy, neither of them were looking for love but managed to find the person they wanted to spend the rest of their days with. They made each other happy in ways neither of them expected and found peace and joy in their Cle Elum home, feeding their deer and taking great care of their kitties. Their shared love of music, cars and animals truly bonded them. They experienced some of the country's best car shows and concerts together. He leaves behind family and friends who will carry his stories and memories with them always. Glenn has left behind his partner Tammy and his son William; his three grandchildren Nathaniel, Grady and Ashlee and his one great grandchild Oliver. Everyone loved him dearly and will miss him greatly.

Family and friends will gather at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 19, 2026 at Johnston & Williams Funeral Home in Cle Elum for viewing and fellowship before processing to Laurel Hill Memorial Park in Cle Elum to lay Glenn to rest.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Johnston & Williams of Cle Elum. Online condolences may be left for the family at www.johnston-williams.com
