It is with deep sorrow and heartfelt gratitude that we remember PJ Glauder, a devoted public servant, community leader, and cherished member of the ADAMHS Board, whose recent passing has left a profound void in the hearts of those who knew him and in the community he so tirelessly served.
For years, PJ committed himself to the mission of supporting individuals and families affected by mental health and substance use challenges. Through his leadership, empathy, and unwavering dedication, PJ became not only a guiding force in the behavioral health field but also a symbol of hope for countless people seeking help, healing, and dignity.
As a longtime board member, PJ brought wisdom, integrity, and compassion to every decision. He was a fierce advocate for mental health reform, a steady voice for those often overlooked, and a mentor to many within the system. His commitment went beyond the meeting room—he engaged personally, listened deeply, and worked diligently to ensure that everyone had access to the care and support they deserved.
PJ’s impact is immeasurable. From championing vital funding initiatives to building partnerships across sectors, his work shaped programs that will continue to uplift lives for years to come. But more than that, PJ brought a human touch to every effort—reminding all of us that compassion is at the heart of public service.
In times of crisis, PJ was the person who showed up. In moments of uncertainty, he offered clarity. And in every opportunity, he chose empathy over ego, action over apathy. He was the kind of leader every community hopes for—and the kind of person everyone feels fortunate to have known.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to PJ’s family, friends, colleagues, and the countless individuals whose lives were brighter because of his presence. Though words can never fully capture the depth of our loss, we honor PJ’s memory by continuing the work he believed in so deeply.
“Thank you, PJ, for your service, your heart, and your unwavering belief in the power of healing. Your light lives on in every life you helped change.”
Rest in peace, PJ Glauder.
You will be missed, but never forgotten.
