Reflection of His Life
GLASCO FLOWERS 3*
A strong and devoted man, a loving provider, and a family's steady foundation.
"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."
Matthew 5:8 — His Favorite Scripture
The story of Glasco Flowers began on July 24, 1949, when he was born to the late Ruby and
McKinley Flowers. Throughout his life, Glasco was a man of strength, dedication, and
unwavering love for his family. He worked hard, cared deeply for those he loved, and
devoted his life to providing for and supporting his family.
The early chapters of his working life were spent as a migrant farmworker. Each year, Glasco
traveled to Canton, Ohio, where he worked at Gressner Farms. After deciding to discontinue
migrating, he began his employment at Double D Farms, which later transitioned into
DUDA Farms. His years of hard work continued until his retirement from U.S. Sugar in 2020.
He took pride in providing for his family and remained devoted to his wife, children,
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
His dedication to his family also inspired him to start a trucking business because trucking
was something his sons loved. Through this business, Glasco supported their interests and
created another opportunity to build something meaningful with his family. It became part
of his legacy of hard work, love, and providing for those closest to him.
Beyond his work, Glasco found joy in his kitchen and garden. He was famous for his barbecue
ribs and fine Southern cooking, bringing loved ones together around meals prepared with
care. He enjoyed growing produce and was known for harvesting some of the best collard
greens in town. His cooking and gardening became a cherished part of his family's memories.
Glasco's favorite scripture, "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God," holds a
special place in the remembrance of his life. As his family celebrates the years they shared
with him, they will carry his words, his love, and the example of his dedication with them.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Ruby and McKinley Flowers. He leaves to cherish his
memory his loving wife, Loretta Flowers of Belle Glade, Florida; two sons, Glasco McKenzie
Flowers (Cassandra Flowers) of Indiantown, Florida, and Daniel Barnes Flowers (Wakisha Paige)
of Belle Glade, Florida; and two daughters, Tanisha Flowers Anderson (Richard Anderson)
and Tawanda Flowers (Shaine Laramore), both of Belle Glade, Florida.
He was preceded in death by two sisters, Ethel Lee Wilkerson (Robert Wilkerson) and Alicia
Johnson (Jimmy Johnson), both of Belle Glade, Florida. He also leaves to cherish his memory
two brothers, Larry Flowers of Utica, New York, and Kenny Parker of Pahokee, Florida.
His precious memories will live on through his six granddaughters, Walkeria Carter, Danielle
Flowers, Kayla Flowers, Mackeyia Jenkins, Daisja Flowers, and London Laramore; his six
grandsons, McKenzie Flowers, Damion Flowers, Jatavious Odoms, Daniel D. Flowers, Deonte
Flowers, and Jordan Anderson; seventeen great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews,
other relatives, and friends.
The earthly chapters of Glasco's life have come to a close, but his place in his family's hearts
remains. His strength, the love he gave, and the memories made in his home, kitchen, and
garden will be treasured for generations to come.
