Thomas “Glen” Chance, Jr., 56 of Austin, Arkansas left on his journey home to be with the Lord on March 29, 2016. He was born to Thomas, Sr. and Mildred (Hunt) Chance on November 28, 1959 in Little Rock. He was preceded in death by his father and sister, Glenda. He is survived by his wife, Patricia (Patty); mother and dad, Mildred and Jack Hughes of Austin; his daughter, Tanya (Bo) Mackie of Carlisle; son, James (Allie) Farish of Alexander; grandchildren, Erin and Aiden of Alexander and Marisa and Giana of Roanoke, Virginia; brothers, Curt (Bertie) and Jimmy of Carlisle; sisters, Shannon (Aaron) Bray of Carlisle and Melissa Chance of Houston, Texas; nieces, Ashley, Hannah and Angel and nephews, Kaden Karson and Zach and a grand nephew, Connor.
Glen worked for the Lonoke County Road Department for 20 years. He loved his work and the people he worked with.
Glen had a deep religious conviction and very strong sense of family. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and camping. He was a generous and loving son, husband, father, brother, uncle, and grandpa. It gave Glen pure joy to make others smile. Always ready with a joke to ease another’s pain or anxiety. His sense of humor was awesome. He will be missed by all who knew him.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the team on 7E floor a UAMS. They are truly the warmest, kindest, and most compassionate people on earth. They gave Glen and the entire family comfort and love when we needed it most.
Visitation will be from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M., Thursday, March 31, 2016 at Westbrook Funeral Home in Hazen. Funeral services will be 11:00 A.M. Friday, April 1, 2016 at the Westbrook Funeral Home Chapel in Hazen. Burial will be in the Hamilton Cemetery North of Carlisle.
