We are sending our prayers and good memories of family.
It was always a joy to talk to Spencer about WWI and WW2 artifacts. He was a kind man with an amazing depth of knowledge that was fascinating. Our prayers and condolences go out to his family. James and Tiffany Gillespie
Spencer was a fine young man. Always enjoyed talking with him. He especially enjoyed personal stories of military veterans. So sorry about what happened. Condolences to Grant and Linda at the loss of your son. No parent should have to endure that. Charlie Harris
Our thoughts and our prayers go out to all of the family. We appreciated his helpful attentiveness and kind presence. Rest in Peace, Spencer. The Rupps
We will forever remember Spencer as an inquisitive, handsome, and extremely bright young man. One memory that alway amused us was 3 year Spencer handing his parents a box of matches and telling them they should keep them away from him since he was only 3. May his memory always bring you the warmth of his smile and the sweetness of the love in his heart. The Franks
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family right now. May Spencer Rest In Peace and May all the good memories remain sharp in your minds forever.
We are truly sorry for your loss. Spencer was one of kindest person to deal with in the antique business world. He will be greatly missed by many. Tom and Myra Devlin
Grant, we were so sorry to hear of your loss. We are certainly thinking of you and your family. Ron & Judy Haynes
I worked with Linda in nursing a few years ago. She spoke often of Spencer and anyone could tell by the way she spoke of him how proud she was and how much she loved him. I never was able to meet Spencer, but he sounded like a good man from Linda’s stories. My heart aches for your family. We will have you all in our prayers.
I watched Spencer “grow up” with my son…I could always find Spencer on the football team sidelines not because he was loud but because he was the tallest one out there with my son next. He was always polite and such a nice young man. I pray he will rest in eternal peace. Doreen Moore
Great times camping/boating Beaver Lake & in the mountains of Colorado with the Hewitts always a wonderful time spent together. Will always carry Spencer with us in our hearts
I swam with Spencer at the Indian Hills swimming pool and went to High School with him. We walked together for graduation. I always appreciated his kind and gentle nature. Plus when I ran into him later he was so caring and considerate. He will be missed.
Grant, Linda and family, We mourn with you and celebrate Spencer’s memory with you. Our condolences. Charlie and Karen Shideler
Sorry for your loss. Spencer was a wonderful person. The kindhearted way he spoke to me, with both mirth and caring over all the years I knew him, will never be forgotten. With deep condolences from John and Jeremiah Gregory.
The Witherspoon family has so many wonderful memories of growing up with the Hewitt boys and sharing school, swimming, vacations, sleepovers, growing up, weddings, and family fun. We hold the Hewitt’s all close to our hearts as we celebrate Spencer’s life and accomplishments.
Grant, Linda, Melissa and family, our sincere condolences and continued prayers to you all. Even though we were not able to attend on Sunday, our thoughts and prayers were with you all. Karen Laughlin & Kathy L Bussey
I am saddened this fine young man died way too soon. The world needs more people with his attributes. My condolences to his family. Leola Wong Russell
