Jamie was a lifetime resident of Odessa. He was a big man in stature as well as heart. He was well loved by family and friends.
He was on the Permian High School Golf team and won numerous Mission Club championships for Junior Optimist golf. He was an avid sports enthusiast and was nicknamed "Mud Dog" and "Conan" by his comrades. His sports talent was greatly evident in the many trophies that graced his home.

In his younger years, he followed his sister Michelle’s lead and later in life came to follow in his father’s footsteps in career and accomplishments. Jamie was very active in First United Methodist Church, participating in the UMYF program, Next Step Bible Study, retreats, ski trips, youth programs and service projects. He was especially talented in computer operations, all self-taught. Jamie was truly a joy, always happy with a prank to pull and a sister to tease and the sunshine of his mother’s life. He was a true "People-Pleaser" and put everyone before himself. He was currently employed by Hanover Compression. He was a member of First United Methodist.
He is survived by his parents, Ralph and Barbara Gladden of Odessa; sister, Michelle Gladden; grandmother, Frances Berkshire, all of Odessa; aunts and uncles, John and Deborah Pankey of Odessa, Roland and Judy Gladden of Odessa and Dr. Jim Berkshire of San Angelo.
