Glenn Bearna Devon County Obituary :Mariners Away Mourns Beloved Mariner Glenn Bearna
It is with profound sadness that Mariners Away and the wider community mourn the passing of Glenn Bearne, who died on Monday, 16th March 2026. A resident of Devon County, Glenn was 74 years old and would have celebrated his 75th birthday at the end of this month.
Glenn joined the Mariners Away singing crew in the autumn of 2021, and from the outset, he became a valued and much-loved member. He was far more than just a participant; he was at the very heart of the group. Glenn brought unwavering commitment, genuine warmth, and a deep affection for the music to every practice and performance.
His presence was a gift to all who knew him. Both on and off the stage, Glenn’s wicked, dry humour lifted spirits and forged lasting bonds of friendship. That laughter and his steadfast camaraderie will be deeply missed by every member of the crew.
This week has been particularly poignant for Mariners Away. As they have continued to sing, their thoughts have been firmly with their absent friend. Glenn’s memory will forever resonate in the songs they share, a lasting tribute every time they gather and raise their voices together.
Our deepest thoughts and sincerest condolences are extended to Glenn’s family, especially his dear wife Bev, and to all his friends during this difficult time. Glenn Bearne’s melody has ended, but his song remains in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.
