Glen Allison Angus

Glen Allison Angus, 92, of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, passed away peacefully on December 14, 2025, in Gulfport, surrounded by love. He lived a full and remarkable life defined by resilience, vision, deep gratitude, and devotion to family.

Born April 19, 1933, in Dodsland, Saskatchewan, Canada, Glen was raised on the Canadian prairies, where he developed the independence and work ethic that shaped his life. As a young man, he worked a variety of jobs before proudly serving seven years in the Royal Canadian Air Force. After his discharge in 1957, he pursued sales before finding his true calling in real estate development.

Beginning in 1962, Glen built a long and successful career turning vision into reality. He saw possibility where others did not. In the late 1990s, his love for development and new opportunity led him to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where he continued shaping residential properties and communities for the rest of his life. He often shared words that reflected his philosophy: “All you need is an opportunity, and there are opportunities everywhere.”

He also reminded his family to focus on the positive, believe in themselves, stay close to one another, and always enjoy time together.

An avid outdoorsman, Glen loved hunting, fishing, and skiing, and he played baseball and hockey in his youth. During a dangerous prairie blizzard near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, in December 1955, he walked miles through whiteout conditions to secure help for his family — a story that became part of family lore and reflected his courage and determination.

Glen loved to laugh and was known as a generous host. He had a way of connecting with people of all ages and lit up the lives of those who knew him with great conversations, stories of the past, and enduring hope for the future.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Claude Allison Angus and Doris Victoria White; his sister, June; and his brother, Gerald. He carried those losses with quiet strength.

Glen often expressed how grateful he felt for his family. He is survived by his wife, Mari; his children, Richard (Vicki), Donald (Laura), Lynne (Pete), and Joseph (Charlotte); his grandchildren, Allison (Curt), Kristin (Lorin), John (Christina), Whitney (Andrew), Charity (Thomas), Austin (Linley), Gaelyn, Skyler, Avery, and Carter; his great-grandchildren, Wyatt Knorr (Kelsey), Taylor, Kenzie, Alex, Bree, Dawson, Max, Cole, Callie, Clara, Wyatt, Hunter, Huxley, Annika, Claire, Brexlyn, Mitchell; and his stepchildren, Patrick Hagerty, Kelly Scannell, Mike Oman, Kelly Dagul, and Heidi Hemer, all of whom he cared for deeply.

A private family service was held December 19. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Joseph’s Indian School, Tunnels to Towers Foundation, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Ducks Unlimited, or the Humane Society of South Mississippi.

Though deeply missed, Glen leaves behind a legacy of love, courage, optimism, and belief in possibility, carried forward by the family he cherished and the many lives he touched.

Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Glen Angus.
