Glen Brist

Glen Brist died on November 6th, 2024, at the age of 77, in an accident on his farm near Kila,

MT. Glen was born on December 17th, 1946, in Kalispell, MT to Freeman and Blanche Brist. He

responded to the love of God in his heart when he was 11, which then led to a lifetime of a

growing faith. After graduating from Flathead High School in 1965, he was drafted into the US

Army, and served his country for 2 years. After his military service, he spent four years in the

ministry. He married Tanya Osksa on April 8th, 1977, and settled on Lone Lake Farm where they

have been ever since. He drove chip truck for Solberg Trucking, followed by delivery truck for

Meadow Gold, all the while working the family farm. He became a traumatic brain injury

survivor in 2007, which led to his retirement from trucking and transition into full time farming.

He loved to share the farm and animals with local as well as international families. He loved to

see his kids and then grandkids not only raise animals on the farm, but grow faith in their

hearts. He is survived by his wife Tanya; children Rob (Tess) Brist and Laura Brist; and greatly

beloved grandchildren Madison, Emma, Naomi and Garrett Brist; siblings Lyle (Mary) Brist,

Joyce Wright, Julia Brist, Jeanne (Cedric) Coolahan; and many friends and relatives.

The funeral will be held on November 23rd at the Flathead County Fairgrounds Trade Center, at

11am. All are welcome, and the family would like you to stay for a lunch that will be provided.
