James Spruill Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Savior on September 16, 2025.
Born on October 11, 1942, in Houston, Texas, to Ambra Elizabeth Farmer and Andrew
Jackson Spruill, Jim lived a full life anchored in faith, family, and hard work. He devoted
nearly 30 years to Shell Oil, earning the respect of all who knew him for his dedication
and integrity.
A true cowboy at heart, Jim loved motorcycles, fishing, and rodeo life in his younger
years. He never met a stranger and had a gift for making others feel seen and valued.
His warmth, humor, and love for storytelling reflected his deep love for people - and for
the Lord.
Jim is survived by his beloved wife of 28 years, Linda M. DeSantis Spruill; his children,
stepchildren, and their spouses; and many cherished grandchildren and great-
grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Jack Spruill.
A celebration of Jim's life will be held in the Sanctuary of Clear Creek Community
Church, 999 FM 270, League City, TX 77573 at 2:00 PM on Saturday, Nov 1, 2025.
Light refreshments to follow in the lobby of the church.
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with
wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
Isaiah 40:31
