"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. 

All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”

Glen Ray Spencer

Glen Ray Spencer passed away at the age of 84, on March 19, 2023, at his home in Payson, Utah.

Glen Ray was born on June 26, 1938, in Payson, Utah to his parents Glen Milton and Ilene Wilson Spencer.  He married Linda Lee Peery Spencer on May 10, 1957, whom he later divorced.  They have three sons that they raised at their home they built in Payson, Utah.

He worked at Geneva Steel for 30 years and then began driving for Swift Transportation. He later worked for Payson City public works.

He enjoyed working with horses and was a member of the local riding club and raced horses with his sons.  He enjoyed spending time with family and supported the grandkids and great grandkids in all their various events.  Many years were spent camping, hunting, and fishing.  He loved to be outdoors and especially on a boat.  He felt that one of his greatest accomplishments was being a temple worker in the Provo LDS Temple for 12 years.  He enjoyed the time he spent there and would pick up extra shifts to help others who needed time off.

He is survived by his three sons, Gary (Laura), Blaine, Blair, 9 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.  He is preceded in death by his parents Glen and Ilene, and his siblings Janice (Lee) Wood, Richard “Dick” Spencer, and Sharon (Ricky) Lamb.
