PRESTON SPRINGER

STANTON - I cannot write poetically, for I am no poet. I cannot artfully arrange my phrases so as to give light and shade. Neither am I a painter; Nor can I even express my thoughts by gesture and pantomime, for I am no dancer. But I can do so in sounds. I am a musician. - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Preston Springer, 51, of San Angelo and formerly of Lenorah, died on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2007, in San Angelo, Texas. Funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 8, at Lenorah Baptist Church in Lenorah with Glenn L. Ward, pastor of Acton Baptist Church in Granbury, officiating. Interment will follow in Trinity Memorial Park in Big Spring. The family received friends Wednesday, Feb. 7, at the funeral home. He was born on Feb. 19, 1955, in Big Spring, Texas, and married Susan Reed on May 6, 1995, in Granbury, Texas. He brought joy to many through his music. He was a Memphis recording artist, touring with noted musicians such as Kris Kristofferson, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. He was a Baptist. Survivors include his loving wife and soul-mate, Susan Springer of San Angelo; one daughter, Jessica Springer of San Angelo; one granddaughter, Madison Jade Lopez of San Angelo; one brother, Allen Springer and wife Sherri of Harrah, Okla.; two sisters, Carolyn Ward and husband Glenn of Granbury and Virginia Springer of Midlothian; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Denver Allen and Martha Ruth Springer; and his son, John Dawson Springer. Arrangements are under the direction of Gilbreath Funeral Home of Stanton.
