Wayne Allen Spreng

On Christmas Eve morning, December 24, 2019, Wayne Allen Spreng, loving husband and father of two children, passed away at the age of 58. The way he died was just like the way he lived; he wrote his own rules. He fought authority and he paved his own way, and if you said he couldn't do it, he made sure that he did. Because of his love of life and stubbornness until the end, he fought the battle against pancreatic cancer far longer than anyone believed he would. Wayne was born on March 14th, 1961 in Loveland, CO and was a special gift to his parents, Edward and Barbara Spreng. Wayne is survived by his father, Edward Spreng, and his sister Teri Folker. He is also survived by his wife, Rhonda Spreng and two children, Jonathan Spreng (KayDe) of Lemoore, CA and Candace Lohr (Ross) of Johnstown, CO as well as many other nieces, nephews, and cousins. For many years, Wayne and Rhonda ran the feed mill in Johnstown, Johnstown Feed and Seed. Following the tragic fire that took the business, Wayne and Rhonda purchased Triad Tooling, Inc. in Westminster, CO which they still own today. He lived 1000 years in the 58 calendar years we had with him. Most people wouldn't be able to pack as many experiences as he did in the years God blessed him with. Wayne was an avid traveler, but loved nothing more than a weekend in the mountains with his family. Wayne also took pride in building and creating things for his family, including numerous metal art pieces that hang both in their homes and in his mountain home in Fraser, CO. After a lifetime of adventures, Wayne's favorite place to be was around a firepit, sharing pizza and beer with the one's he loved the most. He also couldn't resist a good glass of Buffalo Trace Whisky mixed with a splash of Diet Mountain Dew. He loved many things, but he loved his family the most. A funeral service will he held on Tuesday, December 31, 2019 at the United Methodist Church of Johnstown. A viewing will be held that morning starting at 9:30 a.m. with services following at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network at pancan.org.
