Dale Spicer Obituary

Spicer, Dale William

Dale was born on October 10, 1962 to Eugene and Janice Spicer in Dayton, Ohio and passed away November 8, 2024. He was a graduate of Bellbrook High School and Sinclair Community College. He was an avid fisherman competing in tournaments for many years. Dale loved sports, especially football, and was a lifelong fan of the Buckeyes and Seattle Seahawks. He coached his boys for many years as they were growing up and loved every minute. His vibrant outgoing personality ensured the people who crossed his path were never strangers, just new friends. We will miss his sense of humor which was still present to the very end. We hope he is walking, fishing, laughing and is with all those who he loved so much. Dale is survived by his wife, Amy, of 35 years, sons Michael (Shannon) and Alex, mother Janice, brothers Mike (Durinda) and Kevin, numerous nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends. He was preceded in death by his son Max, father Eugene and sister Laura Trimble. Dale donated his body to Wright State School of Medicine. Special thank you to Day City Hospice who were so kind and comforting to us.

I was very sorry to hear of Dale's passing last week. Dale and I were friends from the 2nd grade on. He was such a terrific person who suffered mightily with his health at times over the course of his life. He always kept a cheery and positive outlook through all of it. He was an inspiration to all in his ability to persevere through tough times. He and I spent many great days hunting, fishing, and just hanging out. I have so many good memories of Dale and will always miss him. Rest in peace my friend!
