Carlos Ray Sprecher, 65, of Statesville, died on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 at Iredell Memorial Hospital. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side. Carlos was born on March 24, 1949 in Parkston, SD to the late Edwin and Luella Sprecher, where he was raised and received his education. He then moved to Sioux Falls, SD where he spent the majority of his life.

In 2013, Carl went on one last adventure and moved to Statesville, NC to retire in the South and be closer to his children. Carl loved spending time with his family and dog, Bella. He also enjoyed anything to do with the outdoors, from exploring the Black Hills and the Great Smoky Mountains to the beaches of the Outer Banks. He was also an avid sports fan and loved attending games and especially rooting for his kids favorite teams.

Forever grateful for having shared his life is, Julie Sprecher; his daughter Clorissa Sprecher; his son Kevin Sprecher; his brother Mark Sprecher; and his 2 nephews, Eric (Amanda) Sprecher and Ryan (Emily) Sprecher.

The Sprecher family would like to thank the Iredell Memorial Hospital doctors and ICU staff for their care and support.

He will be missed but not forgotten.
