Soloman Oake Spence

Solomon Oake Spence was born on December 8th 1987 and died September 10th 2018. After a long fight with depression and hardships, he ended his life. Solomon leaves behind a daughter, Elora Niya Spence, his sisters Cari Burch, Cinnamon Johnson, Lily Spence, Violet Spence, his brother Stephen Spence, and stepsiblings Colton, Courtney, and Casey. Solomon joins his mother Lucretia Ann Spence and his father Roy Lee Spence in the afterlife. Solomon "didn't have much time for TV", he worked hard since he was a child. He was a skilled diesel mechanic and floor covering installation. He enjoyed nature, taking adventures, snakes like his pet Diamond: a Columbian Redtail Boa, music: he played the guitar, drums, but his favorite was the electric bass. Solomon could most likely be found on the weekend in a backyard, with a beer, vaping, with friends. His pride and joy was his daughter Elora who turned one year old September 14th 2018. All are welcome to a memorial Sunday, September 23rd at 3pm at Ritter Springs Park in Springfield, MO. An event on Facebook has been created to RSVP and for any details.
