Michael C. Spencer
June 9, 1947 - Oct. 1, 2019
Michael Clair Spencer passed away Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2019, after waging a valiant struggle against a rare cancer (cholangiocarcinoma).
Mike was born June 9, 1947 in Yakima, Wash., to John and Carole Spencer. He grew up on the West Coast spending time in Yakima, California and Portland. He was a good student and piano and coronet player. At Oregon State University he met the love of his life, Kenni Walworth. After graduation with a BS in chemistry, he married Kenni and they had three children, Morgan, Gavin and Hilary. His favorite hobbies were fishing, wood carving and gourmet cooking. Mike first worked in the pulp and paper industry, then joined his father's business, Spencer & Associates, where he ultimately became the owner. He was active in church and in volunteerism, especially for ALS which took Kenni from us in 2011.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife; and a nephew, John Calandra. He is survived by his sister, Kathie, (husband, Dr. Gary Calandra); his children, Morgan, Gavin, (wife Erin), Hilary, (husband Alex Scott); and seven grandchildren whom he loved dearly.
A celebration of life will be held at 3 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 10, 2019, at the Zion Lutheran Church of Camas.
