Born in Sardis, Georgia, Glynn and his family came to Midville in 1941 where he attended school before entering the Navy and the Air National Guard. After his time in the military, Glynn wore many hats during his working years. He was a farmer for many years and he also worked in sales and management of livestock feed and pet foods. After his retirement, Glynn owned and worked in Midville Hardware Company. When he was able, he loved to ride his tractor and he adored fishing with his sons and grandsons. He was a wonderful husband and father to his children and step children. Glynn was an active and dedicated member of the Midville Methodist Church. He loved the Lord with all of his heart and shared this testimony with everyone he could, even unto his last breath. His wife and children will always remember the Four C’s; Character, Conduct, Conversation and Contentment. According to Glynn, these were the things of utmost importance displayed in a Christian life. Romans 8:28 was his favorite and most loved and shared scripture. He was preceded in death by his parents, Hugh Edward Saxon, Sr. and Clifford Roberts Saxon; a brother, Hugh Edward “Eddie” Saxon, Jr. and a sister-in-law, Susan Saxon.
