Life story

" With great sadness, Glenn Mercado Quiban “Gleemer” 56 passed away on November 3, 2022. It was due to a brief illness.

Glenn was born on January 16, 1966 in Baguio, Philippines to Teofilo C.Quiban and Atrecenia Y. Quiban. He grew up in Virginia Beach and graduated from Kempsville High School. He then went on to graduate from Old Dominion University as a Suma Cum Laude in Electrical Engineering.

After graduating he worked at Naval Automation Group for over 20 years as a Senior Design Engineer.

Glenn’s passion was surfing at Camp Pendleton when there were waves. He was well known in the surfing community. He had a vibrant personality, and he was always smiling.

In 1995, Glenn met the love of his life, Sherry. They were married for 25 years. They have three children, Dana, Mason, Ella and Grandson Colton. He loved unconditionally. He always worked hard to give them the best life they could ever dream of.

Glenn was predeceased by his mother Atrecenia Y Quiban. He is survived by his wife, Sherry Quiban; children Dana Myers, Mason Quiban, Ella Quiban, and grandson Colton Young all of Virginia Beach. His brother Jorgen Quiban, wife Brooke Quiban, and son Carter Quiban of Virginia Beach, and his brother Apollo Quiban, wife Lisa Allen of Virginia Beach. As well as his father Teofilo C. Quiban and his wife Sally Quiban of Virginia Beach. Glenn also leaves behind many extended family and friends. Especially his best friends Bob Irizarry and Seth Broudy.

Glenn left this world a hero. True to his kind and giving soul, he was an organ donor. His gift of life helped 5 people live on. Please consider registering to be an organ donor at Life Net Health.

    "Glenn was absolutely my brother from another mother. We were inseparable for over 42 years, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Glenn taught me how to surf and we almost never surfed without the other one being present. I owe so much to Glenn for everything he taught me in life. He made me a better person in so many different ways. Glenn has always been the most selfless person I have ever met. He would do without for himself to provide for his family and help his friends. Glenn is and always will be one in a million, he had the most engaging and humorous personality you will ever meet. There was never a dull conversation with Glenn, he would always leave you laughing and smiling by the end of it. We never struggled for things to talk about and the conversations would go on for hours and it made my heart full. He was there in my good times and my bad. I never had to guess if he had my back because he always did. I am lost and struggle to figure out how to move on without him. I would give anything to have him cut me off in the water again. I never got to say goodbye but every time I surf I will remember Glenn, our 42 year long surf competition still continues. Until we see each other again my bro. I love you Glenn and always will. May peace be with you.”
