Spencer Jeffrey Parsons

Spencer Jeffrey Parsons, 24, of Adams Center was brought home with God on Wednesday morning, April 27, 2016.  Spencer, born on December 3, 1991 was the oldest son of Byron J. and Lisa A. Parsons.  He was the oldest brother to Hailey R. and Pearce A. Parsons.  Spencer was a 2010 graduate from South Jefferson Central School.   He attended Jefferson Community College on a McCann’s scholarship.  After graduating from JCC with an Associate’s Degree in Science, he went on to graduate from Lemoyne College with a Bachelor of Arts degree.  Spencer shared a year of his life as a case manager with Jefferson Rehabilitative Center working with and supporting adults in our community.  In September 2015, Spencer entered New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls and was pursuing a doctoral degree in Chiropractic medicine.

Spencer loved sports and was a member of the soccer, basketball and golf teams at South Jefferson.  He also played soccer and basketball for the JCC Cannoneers.   Spencer’s shortened life cannot be defined by the accomplishments of what he did, or where he went to college.  Spencer will be remembered for the quality of character he possessed.  He was genuine, loving, caring, and charismatic.  His smile, his humor, and his positive personality were infectious to all those around him.  Spencer always tried to do his best and he always brought out the best in others.

In addition to his immediate family members, Spencer is survived by his paternal grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. Barbara Parsons and his maternal grandfather, Frederick C. Langworthy Jr.  Spencer also leaves behind several aunts and uncles; Susan and Joe Viscomi, Julie McDougall, Jane and Dan Hayes,  and Scott Parsons, Frederick C. Langworthy III and Cyndi, Denny and Libbie Langworthy, David and Debbie Langworthy, Noel and Candace Langworthy, Craig and Jane Langworthy, Lori Russell and Edward Mullin, Christian Langworthy, Adam and Kim Nguyen, Leanne and Bob LaBounty, and Lynette and Ty Thomas.  He will also be sorrowfully missed by the many cousins he loved.
