William “Bill” S. Sprague

From Charlie Reinshagen

Best man I’ve ever known in my life. Honored to call him my friend and brother in life. Would give anything for one more late night conversation around the camp fire. Thanks for being such a good friend and a second father figure for my girls as they grew up.

Cousin Billy … I have always thought of you as the “baby” of the family as you were the youngest of 11 cousins on our mom’s side. You also were the only boy out of the 11 and named after our grandfather. Some of my most cherished childhood memories are visiting your family, especially spending part of the summer at your house. You were 10 years younger than me, but I remember you as a cute little blondie running around with us. We caught grasshoppers in the field and crayfish in the creek. We rode the horses and ponies … Kate, Spirit, Coco, and Teddy all over the place. We drove junk cars around the dirt track and your sweet dog Misty following us everywhere. We got one soda and candy bar a day from the store and helped pumped gas at the gas station. We helped hay the fields and sat on top of the bales as your mom and dad drove to the barn. So many fun adventures growing up with you and your familly! As an adult I got to spend some time with all of you for Vicki’s wedding in Georgia. I met Amy and Nick. We had a great time hanging out by the hotel pool, sharing stories, laughing, joking, and talked about how we should do this again, everyone get together for a family reunion. We always think we have enough time, but it’s never enough. Days go by, weeks and months go by, and before you know it years have flown by. You are way too young to be gone from us Billy. It isn’t suppose to happen this way. We need more time. When Kathy told me you were an organ donor it didn’t surprise me. You are that kind of man, always giving of yourself. Such a precious gift you gave to those people and their loved ones. What brings me some comfort and peace is knowing you are in the arms of your mom, dad, and brother again, and that we all will be together someday for that family reunion in Heaven! What a joyful day that will be, thanks be to God, until then rest in peace my sweet “baby” cousin. 💜🙏💜

Raven I had to copy this picture from your page. I was a confetti popper and missed out on taking this photo 🎉 This was such a great day and I thank you for putting it together. The joy in your parents faces as they see so many people there who love and support them was worth everything. They showed everyone what being in love with your best friend looks like. It was always impossible to have a bad time at family gatherings whenever they were there. Their mood and smiles were contagious to everyone around them. 💗

From Kimberly Stahl

Bill was a great person and friend. He had such a caring soul. He always watched out for Dad (Gordy). RIP Bill you will be sorely missed ❤️❤️

From Ryan Sprague

I was a scared 5 year old kindergartener that was getting bullied. Bill saw me, grabbed me and invited me to sit with him with "the big kids" on the back of the bus. Uncle Victor was the driver. What a great family.

Bill 💟

A husband, father, brother, friend, the best kind of person this world has to offer. How lucky we were to ever feel a love as big as his. Most of all I just want to say thank you, Bill. Thank you for being an example of what the best kind of man is. Loving openly, protecting, providing, caring endlessly. Thank you for your gentle hugs, making us laugh until we cried, driving us to the pool 15x a day, snowmobile races, motorcycle ice cream trips, late nights at a campfire, being a second dad to us growing up. Your impact on our lives is so much bigger than I think you ever knew. Never a goodbye, a see you later 💟
