We are very saddened by the loss of Glen and he is missed every day. He has been a wonderfully bright part of many of our lives and I know that our memories of him will continue to bring us all joy and happiness. He was preceded in death by his parents Eugene and Hazel Ruska and brothers Richard, Eddy, and Mitch Ruska. Glen is survived by his son Clyde Ruska and Clyde's mother, Glen's first wife, Jimmie Demetriades; his son Caiden Ruska and Caiden's mother, Glen's second wife, Leslie McCoy along with Leslie's children; Niki and her husband Kevin Clark, Tyler Bowling, Jace and her husband Austin Mckinney, to whose lives Glen was an important part of, and his grandchildren Jonathan Ruska, Alice Clark, and Dennon & Crighton Mckinney. Glen is also survived by his sister Leona & Ed Freeburg and brother Max & Ruth Ruska, as well as many nieces and nephews.


Please share your fond memories, stories, and photos of Glen with us.

Afterglow

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun;
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.
