Glenn Hackenburg

Glenn Hackenburg, age 89 of Clyde, passed away Wednesday, March 29, 2023, at the Stein Hospice Care Center in Sandusky, OH.

Glenn was born November 15, 1933, in York Township, the son of the late Lester Sr. and Ada (Elmes) Hackenburg.

After graduating from York School in 1951, Glenn became a full-time farmer. In the off seasons, he worked various jobs including: Clyde Porcelain Steel, Metal Hose, Heinz, Horns, Starlight Orchards, and Sugar Beet Company before retiring from the City of Clyde where he worked in the Parks & Cemetery Department.


Glenn was a very friendly & polite person who always loved to joke around. He would often reflect back on memories of family, farming, & life experiences. He was a third-generation family farmer where his family recently celebrated over 100 years of farming in rural Clyde, York Township. He took great pride in his family & farm. Glenn never went anywhere without his favorite pet, Sadie.

In 1998, Glenn retired & spent his days spending time with his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and family, watching the Cleveland Indians games, going to the Amish country, bird watching, going to country music concerts, and taking bus trips to various places.

Glenn is survived by his wife, Tamara (Ott) Hackenburg of Clyde; sons: Michael (Melany) Hackenburg, John Hackenburg, and Mark (Betsy) Hackenburg all of Clyde; daughter, Tina Buchanan of Clyde, 12 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.

In addition to his parents, Glenn is preceded in death by his son, James Hackenburg; and siblings: Velda Davenport, Norma Adams, Forest Hackenburg, Lester Hackenburg Jr, and Floyd Hackenburg.
