David Spraggins Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 8, 2025.
David Ellis Spraggins passed away peacefully on October 27, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on December 18, 1951, David lived a full and hardworking life filled with love, laughter, and dedication to family and friends.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Wanda Spraggins, just four days shy of celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary-a true testament to their lifelong love and partnership. David is also survived by his three children: Davina Ricci (Paul), Daylon Spraggins (Angelina), and Devan Spraggins (Nicole); his nine grandchildren; and one great-grandson who brought him great joy. He is also survived by his two sisters Deb Talli (Reynold), Dee Mills (Glenn) and many, many nieces & nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, George Spraggins & Arlene Williams, and his brothers, Darryl and Doug Spraggins.

David worked for SPI Lumber Mill for 28 years before retiring, where his strong work earned him the respect of many. In his free time, he enjoyed riding his Harley, testing his luck at the casino, and helping others as everyone's favorite mechanic.

David was deeply loved and will be missed by all who knew him.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 30, at 1:00 p.m. at Willow Springs Clubhouse. Family and friends are invited to come share stories and memories as we honor a truly special man.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
