GLEN HURST
Glen Hurst, age 64, of rural Sioux Falls, South Dakota passed away Saturday August 4, 2018 in Omaha, Nebraska with family at his side.

Glen was born January 26, 1954 in Murray, Utah. After graduating from Payson High School, he served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He then earned a degree in auto mechanics from Southeast Technical Institute in Sioux Falls.

In 1977, he married Kristine Medema and they were blessed with three children. Glen and Kristine enjoyed traveling on family vacations. As a couple, they enjoyed cruising in Alaska and the Galapagos Islands. Glen lived a very active, fun, and exciting life.

Glen enjoyed coaching and playing softball; always shooting for the fences. On summer weekends, Glen would be found: golfing, wakeboarding, jet skiing and relaxing at Lake Madison, South Dakota. He especially looked forward to having his kids and grandkids stay at the lake for the 4th of July to enjoy: big fires, little smokies, smores, and blowing up lots of fireworks. During the summer, Glen loved to ride his motorcycle and take an annual trip to Sturgis with his daughter Bri. Glen also enjoyed working on and driving one of his many cars. In the winter, Glen enjoyed playing weekly basketball games at Washington High School or at church. He was always involved in some sport or busy rebuilding cars.
