We, MVNU Alumni team, are so very sad to share that our dear friend, MVNU Class of 1971 alumnus, Glenn English, passed away Thursday evening.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date.

Glenn fought a very long difficult battle with cancer. He fought hard and never gave up.

He loved MVNU and will be remembered for initiating Pioneer Spirit in 2019.

We pray for God to be ever so near to families, friends, and all who knew our dear friend, alumnus, Glenn 🙏 ❤️ 💙.
Mike Cheek, Heather McAlpin Hoag, and Diana Tocheff
