GLEN BADER
1964 ~ 2023
Our hearts are broken to announce the sudden passing of our beloved son, brother, uncle, step-dad, cousin and friend, Glen Malcolm Bader, on Thursday, November 30, 2023, at the age of 59 years. He leaves to cherish his memory his mother Elinore Bader; two brothers, Doug (Cheryl) Bader and Al (Judy) Bader and two sisters, Carol Connick (Mary-Ann Easton) and Jenn (Brad) Bailey; as well as extended family Justin Bader (Ashley, Thomas), Curtis Bader (Shelly), Bryce Connick, Colton Connick, Dan Ewacha (Kelly, Emma, Alex, Sidney) and Daniel Bailey. Glen was greatly loved by Destiny and Matthias St. Pierre, many cousins, and numerous friends. He was predeceased by his father Walter Bader, several aunts and uncles, and his Godparents, Mel and June Roth.
Glen was born in Medicine Hat, where he was also baptized and confirmed at St. Paul Lutheran Church. He attended Vincent Massey Elementary and Crescent Heights High School, being voted friendliest fellow of his grad class. His friendliness continued throughout his life. Glen was always ready to lend a hand. He worked mainly in the automotive industry, starting at Beny Motors, then Murray’s, as well as other occupations. He loved sports and the great outdoors. Like his dad, he was a Mr. Fix-it guy, and loved to repair almost anything. We will all miss him dearly.
The funeral service will be held in the St. Paul Lutheran Church (515 Sprague Way SE) on Tuesday, December 19, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Ken Edel officiating. The service will be live streamed.

My deepest condolences to all of Glen’s family and friends! He was liked by everyone that had the fortune to have known him!
Deepest sympathies to all of Glen’s family and friends! I met him through my dad, Stan, and them both working at Murray Chev Olds for many years together. Glen was always such a kind, friendly, approachable, thoughtful person. Our family always enjoyed conversing with him. We are sad about his sudden passing. Sorry for your loss and thinking of you all at this difficult time.
Doug was one of the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. We grew up in the same neighborhood and then worked at Home Depot at the same time for a spell. Always a smile and a laugh that made you happy no matter how you were feeling. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Keep only the best of him in your heart and he will never truly be far away.
Glen served an apprenticeship at MHC and was the most friendly, considerate, outstanding, benevolent student ever. He was always up on life and greeted you with an infectious smile that would make anybody’s day. My deepest sympathy to his family, relatives and friends. The world will miss Glen.
Dear Elinor:
The loss of a child is devastating, so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you.
