Spencer Troy Sharp

Spencer never hesitated to express his love for his family and friends. Spence had a soft spot for animals of all kinds. He tried to extract the most fun from every moment of his life. He smile was big, laugh was loud and personality infectious.

My favorite memories of Spencer are the very simple ones whether it was laughing in the car together, watching old reruns or making breakfast for him. He made others feel special and loved. He never entered the room without giving everyone a big hug and reminding them that he loved them. We recently spent an amazing day moving him into his new apartment. I loved seeing how proud and excited he was for this new phase of life.

I will miss Spencer rushing thru the door, hearing his voice and awaiting a big hug. Spencer was always in motion and encouraged me to do more. I will miss experiencing adventures with him whether it was vacations, sports or just grabbing a quick lunch together. I will miss seeing Spencer grow into a man, have the family he always wanted and find his unique way in life. I don't think there is anything that I won't miss about my son.

Spencer should be remembered for his love of life, spirit of adventure and sweetness given to those close to him. Although he struggled with addiction, he wanted all of us to see the best of him, believe in him and know that he wished things could be different.
