Guy Spann Obituary

Guy Spann

Alamogordo - Guy Edward Spann of Alamogordo, NM went to be with our Lord on March 3, 2019. Guy was 58 years old but had the spirit of a fun, loving 20 year old. He was definitely a family man. He whole heartedly loved his wife, Rhonda, and three daughters, Ashley, Paige and Jesslyn. Guy loved quality time at home with Rhonda and watching comedy movies with her. He absolutely enjoyed eating licorice and popcorn while playing cards and chicken foot with his daughters. Guy was a loving, gentle and patient man with the ability to bear provocation, annoyance, misfortune and pain without complaint or loss of his temper. He worked at Holloman Air Force Base for 38 years and was dedicated to his job where he was nick named, "The Godfather." He so enjoyed working with his family of co-workers. He also had a great passion for cooking and sharing his delicious dishes with family and friends, which earned him, yet, another nickname, "Chef Guy." He had such a kind disposition and could engage in conversation with anyone.

Guy was survived by his wife, Rhonda Spann, his daughters, Ashley Spann, Paige Spann, Jesslynn Balboa, son-in-law, Joaquin Balboa, grandson, Nolan Guy Balboa, brother, William H. Spann, III, (Carmen) and sister, Stacey A. Spann and many more great friends and family. He was preceded in death by his parents William H. Spann, Jr. and Ruth Spann.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at 11:00 am at Christ Community Church, 2960 N. Scenic Drive with a reception to follow.

We will all miss Guy dearly. He was a great husband, father, son, brother and friend.

"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his ways."

Psalm 37:23

Dear Spann family,
I came across this obituary while doing a completely unrelated internet search at work. I am just stunned. Guy was one of my very best friends in middle and high school in Anchorage AK. We were on sports teams, worked, and shared lockers together. I could always count on Guy regardless. As with military dependents, we lost touch over the years. He obviously grew into being a great husband and father as I expected he would. My prayers are with Guy and his family.

Mac & Denise Sikes.

I was fortunate enough to run into you and your family while dining out the last time I visited my family in Alamogordo. I will be praying for the Lord to comfort and care for your family members, friends and co-workers who will be feeling such a loss. I know they will continue to be blessed by the example you set and life you lived. RIP Guy
