Glenndon James Wonders, 47, of Burlington, died on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, in Burlington. Born June 28, 1978, in Burlington, he was the son of Timothy Wonders and Frances Johnston VandenBoom.
He was a graduate of Crusade High School in Morning Sun.
Glenndon worked in construction and most recently he was waste collector until he started experiencing health problems.
He loved fishing, if he wasn’t out on the water, you could bet he was glued to a video game, binge-watching movies, blasting music, or belting out a song. Glenndon was stubborn, a total smart aleck, and absolutely set in his ways, but he could make anyone laugh, which is probably why he always said he should have been a comedian. He was rarely seen without his friends and his brain was basically a walking trivia encyclopedia.
Survivors include his mother, Frances VandenBoom of Winfield; father, Timothy Wonders of Burlington; daughter, Camille Mariona Hayes; estranged son, Tanner Burchette; five siblings, Jennifer (Dan) of Tipton, Stefannie (Don) of Burlington, Alisha of OK, Brett (Meagan) of Winfield, and Patrick of Wapello; and several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents and sister, Stacy.
Cremation has been entrusted to the care of Prugh Crematory.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
