Leonard Dale Spurlock, Sr.

Leonard Dale Spurlock, Sr. “Spur”, 66, of Boyce, Louisiana, passed away on August 12, 2024, in Haughton, Louisiana surrounded by family. Spur was born in Zwolle, Louisiana, on February 8, 1958, to Gracie and Ray Spurlock, the oldest son of his seven brothers and sisters. Spur moved to Alexandria, Louisiana where he worked for Roy O’Martin for the past 18 years. Throughout his time in Alexandria, he had the privilege of developing lifelong friendships that he would eventually call his extended family. He was an active member of the Choctaw Apache Tribe and took great pride in his heritage. Over the past few years Spur found another passion, playing pool, where he joined a local league called The Thursday’s Captains.

Spur was preceeded in death by his mother, Gracie Spurlock; father, Ray Spurlock; sister, Sandra Spurlock; and the mother of his sons, JoAnn Bulher.

He is survived by his two sons, Dale Spurlock Jr. and wife, Meridith, of Rosharon, Texas and Jamison Spurlock and wife, Deana of Haughton, Louisiana; grandchildren, Mya Roy and husband, Hunter, Madalen, Blaire, Mercy, Tayler, MaKenna, Maggie Pearl and Robbie Joe. In addition to his children, Spur leaves behind his six brothers and sisters, a wealth of nieces and nephews as well as his extended family the de Perrodils, DuCotes, and Arnolds.

To have known Spur was a gift, to be loved by him, was a blessing. When faced with adversity surrounding his illness, he looked to his unwavering faith to guide him. Spur believed that the good Lord has a plan for everyone, and if it was his time to be called home, then he would leave this world faithfully. To Spur, there was nothing more important than his sons and grandchildren. They were his greatest gifts in life, and because of them he has no regrets. Spur’s hard-working and loving nature is exemplified in those that he leaves behind.

The family would like to give a special thank you to MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston Methodist Transplant Center, Amedisys Hospice, and Always Best Care for all of their love and support.

Honoring Spur as pallbearers will be Heath Lewis, Josh Lewis, Cole Rivers, Dale de Perrodil, Brandon Sepulvado, and Joey Golden. Serving as honorary pallbearers are Clutch Sepulvado, Pye Laroux, Chubby Meshell, and Caleb DuCote.
