Glenn Samuel Specht, age 99 years, 44 weeks, 5 days, died February 8, 2023, at his home with family present. 

He was born in Seward County, Kansas, March 30, 1923, to Samuel G. and Anna J. (Welk) Specht. He graduated Sublette High School in 1942 and was inducted into the Army, where he learned instrument repair while stationed in Hawaii. 

He returned to Kismet, Kansas, in 1946. He bought his first truck and tractor in Kansas and, began suitcase farming in Colorado with the help of his uncle, Jake Specht.

In 1951, he met and later married H. Delores Edwards. They raised three children, Helen Diann, Jay Dale, and Linda Faye. 

Glenn raised wheat and cattle in Colorado for the rest of his life. He made many friends and enjoyed life around Sheridan Lake. One of the many activities he enjoyed was hunting prairie dogs. He was described by Randy Richardson as the best shot in Kiowa County. He delighted in taking his grandchildren out to hunt prairie dogs with him. He was also known in the community for his watermelons, which he gave out freely.

His relationship with the Lord Jesus was very private. In a letter to a relative he stated, “I feel a strong love for him (the Lord) and his ways….and I’m grateful for God’s sacrificing Jesus at the cross for the salvation of us sinners, like me, if we first believe.”

He was preceded in death by his parents, Samuel and Anna; brother, Vernon Specht; wife, H. Delores Specht; and his favorite cat, BJ.
