Glynn, 85, passed away on

Mike was born in 1937
in Waseca, Minnesota.
The son of Eugene and
Mary Glynn and the oldest

family farm and the care of his younger siblings. After
graduating High School, Mike joined the U.S. Navy at

In 1961, Mike headed to Colorado to work for Gardner
Construction Company helping build I-70 above
Palisade. During this time he met the love of his wife
Lucille Griffith of Palisade. Mike and Lucille married in
1963 and began their lifelong love as a couple for nearly
59 years. Shortly after they moved to Aspen where Mike
began a 30-year career in the Trucking industry in both
Sales and Management. Starting out with Rio Grande
Motorway, Mike’s career took them to Arvada, and
they soon began a family adopting Marlene, Age 6 and
Tim, age 4. After a decade in Arvada, Mike and family
moved back to Grand Junction, where he accepted a
Terminal Manager position with Edson Express and

Mike enjoyed life to the fullest and everyone who met
him truly enjoyed his Irish charm, his company and
knew they had an instant friend for life. Mike was a
Football fan, a great fisherman and hunter, he enjoyed
traveling, the outdoors, and truly enjoyed playing
rounds of Golf. Mike was a wonderful husband, a great
father and a true friend that will forever be in our hearts.
