It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of
Thomas Glen Dahlstrom, a loving husband, devoted father,
proud veteran and esteemed electrical engineer.

Glen, as he was known to many, was born on January 17, 1971,
in Phoenix, Arizona, one of four children to Carol (Barron) Davis
of Arizona and the late Thomas James Dahlstrom.

Glen was a graduate of Tempe High School and went on to
obtain his Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
from DeVry Institute of Technology.

He travelled extensively during his career, and had endless
stories to share with his family and friends of his many adventures.
He most recently worked at Vertiv in Wallingford,
where his expertise shone brightly in the engineering industry.

Glen cherished his time serving his country in the Army,
enlisting in 1989, and earning the rank of Specialist
during his service in the War in Afghanistan before
being honorably discharged in 1996.

His dedication to his family was unmatched - married to
his beloved wife Jennifer for 23 years, together they raised
two children whom he loved and cared for deeply.

Passionate about sports,
Glen was a devoted fan of the Kansas City Chiefs
and shared his love of NASCAR through his prized
collection of model cars.

Known to the Knights as simply Glen, he was a valued
member of the Plainville Knights of Columbus,
He was a Past Grand Knight & Past Faithful Navigator.
Having worked on so many projects to aid the
community, the church and the Knights.
He will be sorely missed by all...

Known for his quick wit, sarcasm, and encyclopedic
knowledge of random facts, Glen's infectious sense of humor
brought infinite joy and laughter to those around him.

He will be missed dearly, living on in the memories shared
during family adventures, most especially their trips
to Disney, his dedication to his work, his time in service,
and the love he bestowed upon his family and friends.

In addition to his mom, he leaves his wife and best friend,
Jennifer (Dignazio)Dahlstrom and their children Nikolas
& Kaitlyn; his brother, James Dahlstom and
his wife Sharon of Australia; his sister Cherry Ferrell and
her husband Alex of Phoenix, AZ; his in-laws,
Eileen Dignazio and Thomas Dignazio and his wife Nancy;
his sisters-in-law Joyanne Wargo and her husband
Stephen, Kristen Dignazio-Drost and her wife
Alicia Dignazio-Drost and their families; many aunts,
uncles, cousins, extended family and friends.

In addition to his father,
he was predeceased by his brother, Daniel.

Glen's family extends their gratitude to Dr. Brian Byrne
and his staff at the Cancer Center in Plainville for their
kindness over the past 4 years, and to Ellen and Jesse
from Masonicare for the exceptional care shown to Glen.
