Spencer Westhuis

Dear Westhuis Family,
My husband and I met your son while living in Roanoke. We too lived at the River House. We met him at a neighbor's and became casual friends. A group of us would play trivia at the bar. I am shocked and saddened to learn about his passing. He was such a good person and I'm so sorry for your loss. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Westhuis Family,
I would like to offer you my condolences on Spencer's passing. We met in Ronaoke through a flag football meetup and later became good friends. Our favorite hangout was at The Wasena TapRoom, where everyone loved and adored him like Cheer's Frasier. I have some really good memories of him. He was always a cheerful and happy person. Later I moved out of Roanoke but we still kept in touch. May God give you courage and strength. His loss is deeply felt in my heart!

Dear Rod, Jill and Quincy,
I just read about Spencer's death Friday in the Zeeland Record. Praying for God's strength and peace with every breath you take. Many fond memories and smiles of the times I took care of Spencer and Quincy.

Dear Westhuis Family,
My prayers are with you at this difficult time. I had the privilege to work with Spencer at Wholesome Harvest Bakery in Roanoke. Spencer was a diligent worker and a kind man. Phil 4:13.

Rod, Jill Quincy. I am so sad to hear about Spencer. Wished I could be there to see you. May God comfort you in this time of grieving. I will come and see you after I get back in town.
Your neighbor Peter

Dear Westhuis Family, I am so sorry to hear of Spencer's passing. I oversee the Holland Youth Advisory Council and we were just getting addresses together and tracking down former HYAC students to have a reunion at Christmas time when we heard the news. It will be sad to not have him there. I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm sure he will be missed by many.

Dear Westhuis Family,
I am truly saddened to hear about the passing of Spencer. I had the opportunity to work and become friends with him during our internship at Abbott Nutrition. It really hits home to have someone I know pass too soon. May he rest in peace and may you have strength knowing the great person he was.

You might not remember me, but when you came to visit Spencer in Roanoke, VA I had the great pleasure of meeting his mom and dad.

I was grieved to hear of Spencer's passing this morning at church. Please know that he was DEARLY LOVED by his City Light Church family.

I attended small group with him and he was a delightful addition to our motley crew. He was a sweet spot every Wednesday night. He always spoke to my children.

I don't have impressive stories to tell or great memories, but I just want you all to know that WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN HIM AND GRIEVE WITH YOU IN THIS TIME. We have and will pray for you.

May God Bless You Richly............

Jill,rod,and Quincy our hearts ache for your loss .

So sad and grieved. Very sorry to hear about Spencer. Know that we are praying for him right now. What a heartbreaking loss. The souls of the just are in the hand of God and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure from us was thought to be an affliction, and their going from us to be utter destruction, but they are at peace. Their hope is full of immortality, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of Himself.

I just learned about Spencer this evening and my heart goes out to you in this time of incredible loss. You are in my prayers in this difficult time.
