The Glen DeVanie Memorial Scholarships
The Glen DeVanie Memorial Scholarships are established to assist students like
Glen: students who are working toward their Criminal Justice Degree and will take their learning experience along with Glen's legacy into the future.
Glen DeVanie was an individual who always placed others before himself. He was a humble man with no enemies who was always looking for the positive way of carrying out a task. His pleasant demeanor, ever-present smile, and willingness to assist others were some of the many ways he endeared himself to those who knew him.
Law enforcement had always been Glen's goal in life beginning with his involvement in the Law Enforcement Explorer Program at a very young age. After he graduated from high school, Alexandria City Marshal, James Byrd, recognized the talent and love for the profession that Glen possessed and hired Glen as a Deputy City Marshal at the age of eighteen.
Glen had many passions in life ranging from Boy Scouts to running a variety of small businesses. He was known in the community as an established, well-respected businessman, and as a loving husband and father. He seemed to have it all: a good marriage, two beautiful children, and all the while pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice at Northwestern State University.
While acting in the line of duty, rushing to the aid of a fellow police officer, Glen lost his life. He swerved to avoid a collision with another vehicle and lost control of his own vehicle. Glen's life on earth was short. However, because of the actions that he performed daily, he will always be remembered. His Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice was awarded in May, 2003, with his wife receiving the diploma on Glen's behalf.
