Glen Neifing, age 89 of Knoxville Tennessee passed away peacefully on July 29, 2021.

After serving in the U.S. Air Force, he attended the University of Illinois and the University of Massachusetts earning his Doctorate in Education.

Glen had many interests and especially enjoyed gardening, restoring antique cars, and home improvement projects. His homes featured amazing flower beds. He loved taking care of the family hobby farm, and helping his daughter and close friends with a variety of equestrian activities.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Louise Elizabeth Layton and his brother, John W. Neifing.

He is survived by his daughter, Michele Lee Neifing.
