Bill G. Spears - July 25, 1962 - January 14, 2024

Departed: 01/14/2024 (Millersburg)

Obituary Preview: Bill G. Spears, age 61, of Apple Creek, Ohio and formerly of Millersburg passed away Sunday morning, January 14, 2024 at his home following an extended illness.

A Celebration of Life gathering will take place 2:30 p.m. Monday, January 22, 2024 at Alexander Funeral Home, Millersburg, Ohio. Online condolences can be made at www.alexanderfhinc.com.

Family suggests memorial contributions be made to the funeral home to help defray cost.

Bill was born July 25, 1962 in California and was the son of Charlotte Warden, also the second youngest of the family: Terry, Mary, Joey and Jesse. He is now reunited with his belated mother and older brother Dennis.

He was a devoted father to three unique women and one well-rounded man; daughters: Lydia, Jamie and Melissa Spears all born to his spouse, Shelly Anger and son, Bryan Feher born to Cathijo Feher, a previous marriage. He leaves behind grandchildren: Kobe, Camdan, Constance, Kayshalee, Kali, Brian Jr, Matty, Dalila and Colesta.

Our dad was a loving, devoted father to his children plus anyone in the neighborhood whom ever needed a safe home away from home. He enjoyed spending time with his grandkids. Our dad was made of tough love, take the edges and smooth them out, and get a family recipe worth not keeping a secret. The formula to our dad was purely generosity and a cup of sarcasm. As I sit here in the funeral home with you in the next room. I hear the sounds of family leaving and a few cranky kids have all gone. I stay to write you this obituary or maybe it's my excuse not to say goodbye just yet! " I Love You" will never have the same ring as it did in my ears when you said it. The echo of  what's left of your presence, unspoken words, I'm at a loss, but I know God's got this! With unconditional, love your middle child.
