David E. Glover

David Edward Glover, 84 years 11 months and 27 days, of Pueblo West, Colorado, passed away peacefully at home on September 8, 2026. He was born in Pueblo, Colorado, on September 13, 1941. He was preceded in death by his parents Judge Hubert and Avis Glover, and his brothers, Robert Glover and R. Allan Glover. On June 24 of this year Dave expressed delight at having reached his 60th Anniversary of marriage to his wife Linda. He always found it rather sad when an obituary reported that someone had died “just shy of” a major milestone, an outcome he had apparently hoped to avoid. Much to the chagrin of his family, he failed to keep this principle in mind as his 85th birthday approached. He is survived by the ones he loved most: his wife, Linda (Simpson); his children, Nancy Glover and Cheryl and Scott Maize; and his grandchildren, Grace, Jonas, and Elijah Maize. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Wanda Glover; his nephew, Doug and Michelle Glover; and his nieces, Becky and Joe Eshleman and Beth and Jeremy Fogg, along with their children, Kati Glover, Tanner (Alise) Eshleman, Kai Glover, Ce’Nedra (James) Jaskowiak, Sienna (Sebastian) Fraire, and Ethan Fogg. Dave was a teacher in School District 60 for 30 years. He never met a joke he didn’t like and was a consummate storyteller, regaling family, friends, and acquaintances with stories of his childhood, the origins of common phrases, and any other tidbits he came across. During breaks from teaching, he and his partners, Frank Ricotta and Bob Moore, built and remodeled houses. Next to his wife and daughters, his three greatest joys were his grandchildren. He happily gave up summer weekends on the golf course to support his daughters at their swim meets and thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with the Minnequa Swim Team Family. Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, September 26, at First United Methodist Church, 310 W 11th St, Pueblo, CO 81003. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to First United Methodist Church or https://www.breakthrought1d.org/ To his students, friends, and relatives – “I hope your lives have been enjoyable and productive. Thank you for what you have added to mine.” Love, Dave, Dad, Granddad, Uncle Dave and Mr. Glover
