Our thoughts and condolences go out to Charles Barkley and his family as it was announced his mother, Charcey Glenn, has passed away in her Alabama home at the age of 73. Deputy medical examiner Derrick Perryman says a report lists the cause of death as kidney failure, and Barkley as the next of kin. A pastor at First Baptist Church of Leeds says Glenn’s funeral is scheduled there on June 27. Barkley has always talked about his mother so affectionately throughout the years on “Inside the NBA”. Rest in Peace Charcey Glenn.
