A graveside service will be held Monday, June 28th, 2021 at 2:00 pm, at the Forest Home Cemetery, north of Loyal with Pastor Fred Jones of Loyal Evangelical Church officiating.
He was born May 5th, 1948, in Kingfisher to Marvin and Eileen (Garms) Glazier. He graduated from Loyal High School in 1966 and from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, Ok in 1970 with an Education/Industrials Arts degree.
He married Ona Gay Montgomery, June 20th, 1969 at the United Methodist Church in Kingfisher. He was extremely proud that they recently celebrated 52 years of marriage.
After graduating college, Les took a teaching job in Kansas City, KS. He quickly realized his passion was back home running a dairy and farming. He and Ona Gay then moved back to the Loyal area and started a life together farming with his dad Marvin and brothers, Gary and Tom, known around the area as "4G Farms". He was happiest working ground, sowing wheat and harvesting. He was a farmer through and through.
Les and Ona Gay had three children Jenny, Justin and Jon which they enjoyed raising and traveling to basketball games, the lake and stock shows. Most vacations were spent at Keystone Lake where he spent countless hours pulling his kids, nieces and nephews skiing and tubing or at Canton Lake at the annual Walleye Rodeo with family and friends.
Les and Ona Gay were blessed with eight grandchildren, Korie, Karson, Zach, Kade, Jill, Aubree, Kase and Jada. He was very proud to continue the tradition of supporting the kids by attending their sporting events, stock shows and FFA member auctions. He would even watch live streamed basketball games and stock shows when he couldn't attend.
Les enjoyed spending time with friends playing pitch and cribbage at the Hitchin Post. Les was called Festus by some of his closest friends. He was a loyal friend who had a gruff voice and a soft heart. He loved red shirts, red trucks and red tractors.
Les is survived by his wife, Ona Gay of the home; his daughter Jenny Geisler and husband Lorne, their children Zachary Geisler and Aubree Geisler of Loyal; his son Justin Glazier and wife Alisha, their children Korie Glazier of Elgin, Karson Glazier, Kade Shaloy and Kase Glazier of Loyal; his son Jon Glazier and wife Amanda, their daughters Jill Glazier and Jada Glazier of Kingfisher; brother, Tom Glazier of Loyal; sister-in-law Barbara Glazier of Loyal; brother-in-law Rex Montgomery and wife Sandy of Yukon; and many nieces and nephews.
