Brody J. Spinden

Brody J. Spinden NORTH OGDEN – Brody John Spinden, 30 years young, took his final trip around the bases on Friday, November 13, 2009. Brody began beating the odds since his birth on February 10, 1979, to Mark Nye Spinden and Linda Jane Scott. He over shot the doctor’s predictions by about 30 great years. His presence became the family’s idea of fun, humor, and excitement. Keeping up with him was like nailing jelly to a tree. An all Amercian kid from day one, he loved softball, the Raiders, his dog Nova, fast cars, making people laugh, and undeniably his Momma. His brothers, family, and friends admired his spirit – from dressing up as Santa to being a fun loving protector. Brody married Katie Larsen on June 6, 2008. They were later divorced but remained good friends. He worked as a proud employee for Home Depot. God smiled on Brody throughout his life as he gave us hope and a simple perspective on how to live life to its fullest.
