Obituary

Glenn Wayne Boone was called home to be with the Lord on April 11th, 2019 after an extended illness.  He was born on October 6th, 1934 in Navarro County to Dorothy & Clyde Boone, the eldest of two boys. As a young man he worked as a “roughneck” in the oil fields of South Texas, before proudly serving his country in the Armed Services. Stationed overseas he often reminisced of his many adventures in Germany & Paris.  After his honorable discharge from the Army, Glenn returned home to Texas to play baseball and study ministry at Southwestern University in Georgetown. He soon transferred to Southwest Texas University in San Marcus, where he was a fraternity brother of Lyndon B. Johnson and most importantly met the love of his life on a blind date. One of the family’s favorite stories is how he and all his friends pretended he had a twin named “Dwayne”. Wayne was the responsible romantic, and “Dwayne” was wild and spontaneous. A few weeks after dating they both proposed, Karen turned them down because she was in love with both and could not pick between the two…so Glenn had to confess they were one and the same. They were married on April Fools’ Day (4/1/61). They always said he was joking, but she took him seriously.  Shortly after Glenn graduated with a BS in Business and a Minor in Theology, they relocated to Richardson. Where he worked in the Defense Industry, served as a Richardson Reserve Police Officer and coached his daughter’s soccer teams.  A devoted husband and loving father and grandfather; preceded by his wife Karen, parents Dorothy & Clyde Boone. Survived by his brother Billy Boone of Snyder, Texas; his daughter Kathy and husband Terry Gammill, daughter Kimberly and husband Kevin Perry, his grandchildren: Chance, Chasity, Cody, Nicole and husband Brad, Robin and husband James, Shane and wife PJ, Tonya and husband Scot. His great-grandchildren: Auggie, Belle, Bryce, Harper, Justin, and Ty. His beloved pets: Harley, Lucky and Pete,  Glenn’s ashes will be entombed at the DFW National Cemetery along with his beloved wife, Karen.  Please join us for a celebration of life on Tuesday, April 23rd at 3:00 pm, at Aria Funeral Home, 19310 Preston Road in Dallas, Texas.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
