Spencer Lee Swapp 1935 ~ 2005 Spencer Lee Swapp ended his earthly adventure August 1,2005. He began his life in Provo Utah June 9, 1935. He was the youngest of five children. Spencer began his adventure at age 18 when he started working for himself. During his lifetime he started and ran many businesses including a car lot, a wrecking yard, a construction company, a real estate company, and a mail order business. During this mighty adventure, he managed to marry Colleen Pritchett and together they had four children, Cynthia, Craig, LynnAnn, and Veronica. Spencer and family traveled and worked in every western state and a few back east. He finally ended his nomadic ways when his health began to decline in 1996, at which time he settled in his birthplace of Utah. Spencer had many interests including flying, art, science, and the environment. He was preceded in death by his parents, Preston and Louise; his big brothers, Doyle and Reid; and two of his children, Cynthia and Veronica. Today all those that remain who had the opportunity to know Spencer will miss him. He was a joy to talk to and truly possessed a free spirit. He has left a hole in our hearts by his departure. He lived life by his rules and no one else's and he seemed to possess no fear or worry. Spencer Lee Swapp will be missed by his friends and family and there can never be anyone as special as our dad. Your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren are richer for having known you, but we are poorer for your departure. We love you and miss you and will carry your memory forever in our hearts. There will be a gathering in Provo's Pioneer Park (5th West and Center) Sunday August 7th at 4 p.m. to honor Spencer. All friends and family are invited to attend. Funeral directors, Broomhead Funeral Home.
