James Alan "Al" Spinks

They say that only the good die young and this was never more true than with Al's passing. Though nothing can ease the pain of his loss in your lives, his memory and his legacy will live on in all of you and in the wonderful things he accomplished in his lifetime. My deepest condolences to all of his loved ones. Michael always held Al in the highest regard. I'm sure he will be happy to see him again.

May God bless you and your family during this time. I was very fortunate to have crossed paths with such a great man and all his children in life.
Sincerely,
Coach Heiting

Al was such a generous man with his life and family. The Lains are honoring his life well lived and encouraging the lives of all the rest of the Spinks family in the days to come. With deep sorrow and faith-filled hope, we know that the Holy Spirit will comfort you guys beyond anything we could ask or imagine.

Such a precious friend. I have so many sweet memories of Al and I will cherish them all. Praying for all of you. As broken hearted as we all are, the fact that Al was such a strong Christian man is very comforting.

When we moved to Midland way back in 1994, we found a kindred spirit with the Spinks family: a love of faith, family, and the outdoors. Many fun ski vacations together followed. We send our love and prayers to all of you. Jesus will wrap His arms around you, surround you with His love and will carry you through this tender time.

We are sad to hear our friend Al has passed away. Like many we had a friendship based around friendship at church but when we would run into Al it was like we had seen each other the day before. The best thing about our friendship is knowing his beleif is Christ, knowing that we will see each other again one day in heaven. Praying for your family.

Im so sad to hear about little Al. Al and I grew up together often going on family ski vacations together. He was an incredible athlete and his smile lit up the room. I remember him doing a 360 on one ski because he had broken his other. It was like he didn't know the word noor can't. He seemed to think anything was possible. What a wonderful person and I am sure he was an amazing Dad. Please accept my condolences.

I have great memories with Al on many FBC Midland ski trips, he's responsible for teaching me how to ski. Blessings to the Spinks family.
