DOUGLAS EDWARD "AUGGIE" SPRAGGINS

1958 - 2025

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Doug "Auggie" Spraggins, of Jamestown California, who rode into heaven on May 12, 2025, at the age of 66 in Modesto, California. He passed away from complications of doing what he loved best, riding his Harley. Born in Sonora, California, on July 14, 1958, Doug was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many.
He was known for his humor, love for Harleys, and commitment to his family. We will cherish our walks through his property, his pride in his many collections, and especially the hours spent helping him find tools and work on his numerous projects during visits. Doug has left us with memories of camping trips, late night talks, and his wild stories will never be forgotten. His hilarious one-liners and legacy of loyalty, pride, and willingness to fight for his loved ones will live with us forever.
He is survived by his son, Gabriel and Ashley Spraggins, along with his grandchildren Sierra and Gage Spraggins, who were his pride and joy. He never ceased to love his stepchildren Joe, Greg and Sara. Also survived by his sisters, Debrorah and Reynold Tali, Dee and Glenn Mills, brother Dave and Wanda Spraggins, and Lynn Spraggins, along with 11 nieces and nephews, 20 great-nieces and nephews, and 21 great-greatnieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, George Spraggins; mother, Arlene Williams; brother Darryl Spraggins; and stepdaughter Patty Luoto.
As Doug would have wished to ride again, there will be a memorial ride June 28, 2025, starting at noon Sierra Gas near The Junction shopping center in East Sonora. Kickstands up at 1 p.m. A celebration of life will be held at 4 p.m. June 28 at the Tuolumne Veterans Memorial Hall, 8375 Fir Ave., Tuolumne, California, 95379. Guests may bring sides, appetizers, or deserts for the celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your charity of choice in Doug's memory.
