On October 12th, our family experienced an unimaginable loss when my dad, Karl Spellmeyer, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. We are still trying to come to terms with his passing while also making arrangements to give him the respectful, loving farewell he deserves.

My dad was loved by many, and now we’re asking for help to honor him in the same spirit.

The cost for a burial and service is around $10,000, or up to $6,000 for cremation and a memorial. Any funds raised will go directly toward funeral and service expenses.

If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help lighten the burden during this incredibly difficult time. Every bit of support—whether financial or through prayer—means more than words can say.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, love, and prayers.

With gratitude,

Tiffany Johnson, William Spellmeyer, Crystal Leyba, and our families

Service time and date will be announced once they are arranged. We cannot move forward with scheduling until we make full payment to the mortuary and we're not sure how long the hospital will hold him for us.
