Glenn E. Legg, age 95, of Eureka, passed peacefully on February 5, 2026, at Timber Ridge in Eureka, with family by his side.

Born April 7, 1930, in Eureka to Mannon and Beatrice Titus Legg, Glenn grew up in Rohnerville, graduating in 1948 from Fortuna High School. After graduation, Glenn worked in the timber and trucking industry for more than 50 years, first at Hammond Lumber Company and then Pacific Lumber Company. In 1958 he went to work for Redwood Construction Company for more than 25 years as a log truck driver, truck boss and safety supervisor. He ended his career as a log truck owner/operator for ten years retiring in 1993.

He enjoyed his deer and elk hunting trips with his hunting buddies both locally and in Colorado. Over the years other hobbies he enjoyed were camping, water skiing, fishing, golf, reading and RV traveling. In 1993 Glenn and his wife Mary took an RV trip around the United States, stopping in Casa Grande, Arizona to visit friends. They liked the area so much in 1994 they returned for one month, and in 1995 for two months and from that time on they went every year for six months until 2021.

Glenn was a past member of Redwood Empire Golf and Country Club in Fortuna and Big Foot Golf and Country Club in Willow Creek. He was a member of the Eureka Elks Lodge #652 and an avid San Francisco Giants and ‘49ers fan.

Glenn enjoyed a good argument and most of the time felt he was right.

Glenn is survived by his wife of 56 years, Mary Lee Legg; children Rob Legg (Kristine) of Eureka, Karen Gallagher (Jim) of Big Lake, Alaska; step-children Louise Goff (John) of Eureka, Lois Lee Busey (Gene Rinne) of Eureka and Robert Annis (Peggy) of Eureka, and two grandchildren, three step-grandchildren and six step-great-grandchildren.

The family would like to thank Timber Ridge of Eureka and Hospice of Humboldt for their excellent care and compassion. At Glenn’s request there will be no funeral service. Memorial contributions can be made to the donor’s charity of choice.
