Carrol LeRoy Spicer, a true farmer and loving brother, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Friday, October 17, 2025. Carrol, 80, of Bellevue, Michigan was born May 3, 1945 in Delta Township, Eaton County, Michigan to Albert Dewey Spicer and Virginia Ida (Huffman) Spicer.

The fourth of nine children, Carrol was raised in a large family. As a child, Carrol attended Wetmore Country School, and later, Charlotte Public Schools. Upon graduating high school, Carrol enlisted in the United States Army and was stationed in Korea. Following his return home, Carrol was employed by Fisher Body for 32 years until retiring to pursue his true passion; farming.

An outdoorsman and travel enthusiast, Carrol had an affinity for kayaking, hunting, and road trips to Kentucky and Tennessee. He also enjoyed attending farm machinery auctions, watching Western and old war movies, and meticulously maintaining his trucks over the years (he was especially proud of his Chevrolet Silverado). He is remembered by his family as a great conversationalist, a humble and caring man, and someone who was always willing to help others.

Carrol is survived by his siblings, Beverly Kortman, Jim (Cathy) Spicer, Mary Gattner, Delores (Alvah) Holmes, Judy (Rick) Williams, and Harold Spicer; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents; brothers, DuWayne Peer Spicer and Lawrence Spicer; infant sister, Josephine, in 1943; and brother-in-law Larry "Spud" Gattner.

Friends are encouraged to support Carrol's family by sharing memories on his Tribute Page at www.prayfuneral.com. A celebration of Life will be held in the Spring of 2026. The family is in the care of Pray Funeral Home, Charlotte.
