Glenn Earl Oman, Jr., 61, of La Porte, Ind., passed away Sunday, Jan. 31, 2021, at Northwest Health – La Porte.
He was born in La Porte on Jan. 6, 1960, to Glenn Earl, Sr., and Kay (Travis) Oman.
Glenn held various positions throughout his 34-year tenure at Jaeger-Unitek Sealing Solutions, Inc. He was a member of Journey Church, where he served the congregation as treasurer, and he also strengthened his faith through Fight Club Men’s Ministries. In college, Glenn served as president and treasurer of Delta Theta Phi at Valparaiso University, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Accounting. Later in life, he earned a master’s degree in Information Technology from Purdue University. Glenn also served as a YMCA recreational sports coach and KVA coach, and was a proud La Porte High School Marching Band, Winter Guard and Speech & Debate parent.
Glenn enjoyed reading, fishing, golfing, bowling, grilling, Diet Pepsi, a nice pair of Skechers shoes, and a good baseball cap. He was also a diehard Chicago White Sox fan and an undercover karaoke star, where his signature song was “Ice Cream Man” by Van Halen. Glenn spent every waking minute loving and supporting his family and never stopped cracking classic Dad jokes to make everyone roll their eyes and laugh. He was always willing to help those in need with a smile on his face.
On May 21, 1983, in Valparaiso, Ind., he married Janet Vazquez, who survives.
Also surviving are his children, Brad Oman and Kaelyn Oman, both of La Porte; brother, Geoff Sellers; and countless siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins from the Oman, Sellers, Pauff and Snow families.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Gregg Oman.
