The Livingston Parish News - 18 Jun 2009
SPANGLER, RONALD CLAYTON “SPIKE”

Ronald Clayton “Spike” Spangler, 62 died on Saturday, June 13, 2009 after a 
valiant battle against CLL since 1994.  He was born on July 23, 1946 in 
Hammond and was a 1969 graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University.  He was 
overwhelmed by his recent honors, Phi Kappa Phi membership and election to the 
SLU Alumni Board of Directors.  Spike was called to the ministry at an early 
age.  A few years ago he heeded that call and was ordained as a Missionary 
Christian Alliance pastor.  However, he felt his true ministry was with the 
Fellowship of Christian Athletes with whom he worked in Tangipahoa and 
Livingston Parishes.  He was a teacher and coach at heart, having taught 
school and coached many teams; biddie ball, AAU and high School and he was a 
real “gym rat”.  Spike was a licensed Realtor, a certified licensed 
underwriter owning his own TPA firm.  He was co-founder and board officer of 
Generations Hospice and owned The Pretzel Twister in the Mall of Louisiana.  
He was a lover of music and played and sang in various bands and choirs 
throughout his life.  He loved acting, in and out of the theatre.  He was a 
pilot and loved flying.

Visitation was held at McKneely and Son Funeral Home in Hammond on Monday, 
June 15, 2009 and resumed on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 until the funeral service 
with interment in Rose Memorial Park.

His wife, two daughters and sons-in-law, two stepdaughters and a stepson-in-
law, two stepsons and a stepdaughter-in-law, two brothers and sisters-in-law, 
two sisters and brothers-in-law, and eight grandchildren survive him.

The family requested that memorials to be given to The Fellowship of Christian 
Athletes of Tangipahoa and Livingston Parishes or Generations Hospice in 
Denham Springs
