Glenn Forrest Vance

December 26, 1955 - December 11, 2020

Glenn Forrest Vance, 64, of Paige, Texas, was born on December 26, 1955 in San Antonio, Texas. Glenn is survived by his cherished wife Debbi Vance of Paige; three stepchildren, Michael Taylor of Georgetown, Alex Taylor and his wife Ashlyn of Georgetown, and Annelise Jones and her husband Christian of Paige; two step grandchildren, Evan and Aniya Taylor of Georgetown; father-in-law George Shafer of Bryan; and brother-in-law Mark Shafer of Houston. He was preceded in death by his parents, James C. and Barbara J. (Van Winkle) Vance of San Antonio, his sister Marion Burch of Houston, and stepdaughter Damaris Taylor of Georgetown. Glenn was a graduate of Lee High School, San Antonio College, Trinity University, and St. Mary’s Law School, all in San Antonio. During his 20’s, before law school, Glenn worked in television production, as studio manager of the TV-Film unit at the University of Texas Health Science Center as San Antonio, as a producer/director for the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, and for the engineering staff at KENS-TV. After two years in private legal practice, Glenn was an Assistant Attorney General of Texas for the Child Support Division from 1991 until 2016 for a total of 25 years. He served as managing attorney for field offices in Harlingen, Edinburg, and San Antonio, as Assistant Senior Field Attorney in the Rio Grande Valley and much of South Texas, as Forms Section Chief supervising policy and procedures, and as an Attorney trainer. Glenn was heavily involved with the Episcopal and Bible Churches in Austin. He enjoyed gardening, traveling and taking cruises with his family. At the end Glenn tried to get out of bed and kept saying “hurry, hurry.” His wife asked him if he was talking to God and he just smiled and closed his eyes. He died soon after from heart failure on the evening of Friday, December 11, 2020 at his beloved residence in Paige. A celebration of Glenn’s life will occur at a later date.
