Timothy Gerard Spronz

Timothy Gerard Spronz, 69 of Grapevine, TX passed away on May 16, 2024 after a brief struggle with small cell lung cancer.

Tim was born on December 6, 1954 to Bill and Coletta Spronz in Cleveland, Ohio. His family moved to Morristown, New Jersey where he graduated from high school in 1972. After receiving his Bachelor's Degree from Fairleigh Dickenson University in Teaneck, New Jersey, Tim moved to Grapevine and attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas where he received his Master's Degree.

Tim became a Grapevine Police Officer and served honorably on the force for a few years, after which time he was one of a few select candidates who have ever been chosen to serve as a Secret Service Agent. After extensive training in Glynco, Georgia, Tim became part of the team who travelled with Vice President Bush during the Ronald Regan Administration. Tim had the best stories of his time as a Secret Service Agent. He like to tell people, "I could tell you, but then I'd have to shoot you." He would laugh and then regale his audience with interesting stories about his interesting career.

In 1983, Tim met Debra in Grapevine. They married in 1987 and in 1988, they welcomed their beautiful daughter Kaitlyn (Kaki) into their lives, their hearts and their home.

After retiring from the government, Tim spent the next twenty years as a field landman working for several large companies in Texas. The last company he worked for was Daniels Land Service where he had the honor and privilege of becoming friends and family with brothers Zane and Ben Daniels and their families.

In his spare time, Tim loved to make pens. He spent hours in the garage working on his lathe, turning out beautiful pens that he loved giving to friends and family members. Those of you who are lucky enough to own one of Tim's fabulous pens know how talented and creative he was.

Tim was predeceased by his father, Bill and his mother, Coletta. He is survived by Debra, his wife and best friend of 37 years, his beloved daughter Kaki (Wes), grandchildren Cam and Kendi of Tennessee, brothers Bill (Cecilia) of New Jersey and Kevin (Karin) of Georgia, and several much loved nieces and nephews.

Services will be held on Saturday, May 25, 2024, at Living Word Lutheran Church, 2031 W. Northwest Highway in Grapevine. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Cancer Society or Arcy Healthcare, a wonderful hospice service with loving and caring nurses.
