Glen Lyle Holdener

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Glen L Holdener in Penticton on March 16, 2024. He was 70 years old. 

Glen was born in Revelstoke, BC. The fifth of seven boys for Arnold and Beatrice Holdener.

Glen spent his youth in Revelstoke. As a teenager, he was on the high school basketball team and bowling league. He worked for the family business doing various deliveries. At the age of 18, he opened the Revelstoke Hobby Shop. After graduation, he set upon a career working for the BC Liquor Board, starting out in Revelstoke, moving first to Whistler (living in Pemberton), and then Houston, BC, before settling in Penticton. After his retirement, Glen worked at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, which he enjoyed until his health failed him.  

Glen was a kind and caring husband, father, grandfather, boss, and friend. He loved his family time, spending time at the beach, and enjoyed his nights playing poker with his friends. 

He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Vickie; daughters, Heather (Scott) and Christy (Hamish) and son, Michael (Jordan); grandchildren, Leorah, Gavin, Carson, Mason and Kinsley; brothers, David, Keith, Dennis and Bryon. Predeceased by his brothers, Gordon and Jim. 

He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
