Our beautiful husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, Bill, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 21, 2017.

Bill was born in Logan, Utah on May 23, 1937 to Winfred Elmer and Jessie Ahrens Spicker, and was raised in Clearfield, Utah with his brother, Terry. He graduated from Davis High School, and later attended Weber State College. While he was young, he enjoyed weightlifting and competed in the Mr. Ogden pageant.

After working for many years at Defense Depot Ogden, Bill truly found his calling working with the disabled, and loved mentoring students at Clearfield Job Corps.

Bill was outgoing and could talk to anyone about anything. He had a big heart and hearty laugh. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors. He also loved talking about cars and animals and was always concerned with their well-being.

He had a passion for music and a beautiful acapella singing voice, and sang in the Utah Opera chorus.

He found peace and solace being in nature, and loved sitting by the river with his wife, Sondra. Together they enjoyed trips to Logan Canyon, the Grand Tetons, the Uinta Mountains, Antelope Island, Mirror Lake, and Hogle Zoo, although they would have been happy anywhere with trees, mountains, and water.

Bill married Helen Bowman in 1961, and had two children, Kimberly and Shaun. They were later divorced. He married Sondra Porter on September 12, 1987, they were later sealed in the Logan LDS Temple.

He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Sondra Porter Spicker, his daughter, Kimberly (Ron) VanSweden; and son, Shaun (Christine) Spicker, eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother, Terry (Susanne) Spicker, sisters-in-law, Rochelle Owen and Sharon Porter, and brother-in-law, Jeff Sagers. Bill was preceded in death by his parents Fred and Jessie Spicker; in-laws, Ramona and Floyd Porter, sister in-laws, Drenda Porter and Sheila Sagers, brother-in-law, Kelly Porter, and many other beloved friends and family.
