Joseph Steven "Joe" Spell, known affectionately as Joe to his friends and family, passed away on May 16, 2025, at the age of 50. Born on March 11, 1975, in Daytona Beach, Florida. He grew up in Jonesboro, Conyers, and Covington and was a 1993 graduate of Newton County High School, where he formed many lifelong friendships and laid the foundation for his future endeavors.
Joe went on to become a respected part-owner of SPS, where he dedicated his professional life to the growth and success of the business. His work ethic and commitment to excellence were matched only by his kindness and passion for life.
An avid outdoorsman, Joe found solace and joy in the embrace of nature. Whether he was hunting, fishing, or playing a round of golf, he cherished every moment spent under the open sky. His love for the outdoors was infectious, and he often brought together friends and family for memorable adventures.
Joe's legacy is carried on by his loving mother, Teresa Spell, and his two sons, Joey and Hunter Spell, who will forever remember him as a guiding light in their lives. Though his father, Big Joe Spell, predeceased him, the bond they shared as father and son remains an indelible part of who Joe was. He is also survived by several siblings, other family members, and many close friends, all of whom felt the warmth of his kind and friendly spirit.
Those who knew Joe would describe him as a man of great passion, whether it was in his personal interests, his work, or his relationships. His laughter was a melody that echoed in the hearts of those who loved him, and his generosity knew no bounds.
Joe Spell lived a life that was full, vibrant, and deeply impactful. He will be remembered not just for the success he achieved, but for the love he gave and the lives he touched. As we say goodbye to Joe, we celebrate a life well-lived and a man who was truly one of a kind.

I don´t even know where to begin. The world lost a great one in Joe Spell. This was a man not large in stature, but certainly made up for it in personality. He could own a room in a matter of minutes with his infectious, laugh and endless stories. I always joked that Joe could probably talk to a wall for an hour, never a lack of words. We started as friends, became business partners, but in my mind, we were brothers. Love that guy so much and will miss him dearly.

What to say about Joe! I met him through a colleague and we hit it off right out of the gate! I would call him fun size! He would know what that meant! I´m so sorry to hear of such a good fellow to pass away so young! He had a light within him that was so bright. I can´t imagine the pain it is to lose a father, I hope y´all can find the comfort in the many good memories of Joe! God bless you all!

I met Joe 8 years ago and from the beginning he was the guy that always made me laugh. Countless laughs with him and great times. I will never forget the time he took me hunting for the first time and pranked me with the game warden! Joe, a GREAT guy, WILL BE MISSED. Deepest condolences to the family.

I loved my dear friend Joe Spell. We enjoyed canning, the markets and some gaming together. He was a super individual and will be greatly missed by all. My deepest sympathy goes to his family who are experiencing this untimely and great loss. Faye Bazemore
