In this episode, we celebrate the life of Glen Solomon as he talks about fishing for redbreast bream in the blackwater rivers of southeast Georgia, something that he was deeply passionate about. Sadly, Glen, 52, of Hazlehurst, passed away on Friday, Aug. 16 while on his way to Appling Health Care in Baxley with what he told his wife over the phone were chest pains. Glen’s relationship with GON began in November 2005, when he first met GON Editor Brad Gill at Chickasawhatchee WMA. Brad was featuring Glen and his public-land hog-hunting techniques. From that hunt, a work relationship flourished, and Glen began writing stories for GON in January 2007. His initial story was called, “60 Days of Extreme WMA Hog Hunting,” and the title certainly sums up Glen’s extreme passion for not only Georgia hunting and fishing but sharing it with a large fan base of readers. According to the Wainright-Parlor Funeral Home in Hazlehurst, Glen is preceded in death by his grandmother, “Ma” Jurell Solomon, mother, Patsy Anderson Solomon, and brother, Greg Solomon. Survivors include his wife, Cindy Floyd Solomon of Hazlehurst; daughter, Candace Daniels (Jeffery) of Alma; son, Corey Solomon (Erica) of Hazlehurst; father, Wayne Solomon of Douglas; Aunt Frances Vickers of Ambrose; half-sisters, Latrice Solomon of Chauncey and Michelle Carter of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL; half-brother, Wade Pritchard of Douglas; three grandchildren, Landon Solomon, Paisley Solomon, Madison Daniels, nieces and nephews also survived.
