Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terry Glenn was remembered Saturday before friends, family and former teammates as a man whose best days were his last days.
Glenn, 43, died in a car accident Nov. 20 while returning from the Cowboys’ 38-9 loss the Philadelphia Eagles with his fiancee, Verina LeGrand.
He was funeralized at Friendship West Baptist Church in Dallas with Pastor Freddie Haynes reciting the late Tupac Shakur in calling Glenn “a rose who blossomed through concrete.”
Before Glenn became a star at Ohio State and before he played 12 years in the NFL with the New England Patriots, the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, he was a child of tragedy.
