Ross Spencer Obituary

Ross Andrew Spencer, 62, was called home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, March 26, 2026. Ross passed peacefully in his sleep at his home in Dallas.

Born in Kingston on Feb. 9, 1964, he was the son of Geraldine and Willard Spencer.

He was a graduate of Dallas High School, Class of 1982. He holds a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University, Class of 1990. He was also very involved with Fellowship Church and the Worship Team as the "Sound Guy."

Ross spent his early years dreaming up new skateboard ramps and cruising on his board in his childhood home in Dallas. His love of the sport was seen from Dallas to Danville and eventually down to Ocean City, Md., where he spent countless summers throughout his life.

Anyone who knew Ross could find him caring for his patients at Ross Spencer Chiropractic, and he was affectionately known as "The World's Most Friendliest Chiropractor." He could also be found spending time taking care of his family or helping someone in need. Most of all, Ross was known for his love of Jesus Christ, which he would show to any and all who crossed his path. He would show Christ's love in his life to anyone who was in need and through his various roles in the ministry at Fellowship Church. His love for family extended beyond to his friends and his patients, whom he also treated as part of his family.

He is preceded in death by his father, Willard Spencer, 2021, and Geraldine Spencer, 2023.

Surviving are his wife of 30 years, Kim Spencer; children, Marilyn and Mindy Spencer; sister, Lori Rhubright Spencer and her husband, Wes Rhubright, of Harrisburg; and niece, Emilee Bowers (Rhubright).

Those who were closest to him will remember him as a loving husband, father, son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, friend, and much, much more.

A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday in Fellowship Church, 45 Hildebrandt Road, Dallas. Friends may call from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Snowdon Funeral Home, 140 N. Main St., Shavertown.

In place of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Fellowship Church Benevolence Fund.

Dear Kim, Marilyn and Mindy,
Bill and I are so sorry for your loss. An unexpected and sudden death has to be the hardest to come to terms with. Our hearts go out to you as you move through this difficult time.

We saw Ross as our chiropractor and he was a God sent to us. He helped me back from a time when I was out of options with the medical community- in horrible pain and unable to walk without a walker. He restored me to a manageable pain level and maintenance with him gave me back my mobility. I am forever grateful for him.

We pray Gods love and comfort in the coming days.

Dear Kim and daughters,

My mom Rita and I want to express our deepest condolences for your sudden loss of Ross.

I had just seen him last Monday at Weis's . We are still having a hard time believing this happened.
Mom and I are going to miss him. No one knew how to correct our spines like Ross did.
As my mom tells people, it takes time to heal. You will all be alright.
He's probably either skateboarding with Jesus riding with him or driving Jesus around in a Volkswagen up in heaven. Mom agrees.
Take care of yourselves.

My deepest condolences to the Spencer family. Ross was my chiropractor, and I always enjoyed talking with him about his love of Volkswagens during our sessions.

Ross was our chiropractor, but he felt more like a close friend/member of the family. My daughter has a condition requiring super careful chiropractic care to keep her out of the hospital, which is rough on a teenager. We visited Ross at least once a week and sometimes twice. We joked that we might just rent a room. He connected with all of us like old friends, remembered specific details and would always ask and check in on things. My daughter loved to bring in her projects and art work to show him and several times he brought in art supplies from his daughter Mindy for her. My boys could always be found chatting away about sports teams and he always remember who they liked, as well as asking them about their latest hunting adventures. He´d always check in about our dog and share tales of their two fur babies, and we frequently talked about his family whom he loved so deeply, and he´d always update us on what the girls were up to, he was so so proud of them! We always looked so forward to our visits and our minds still cannot wrap around this tragedy. It is so hard to picture life without him in it, how does the sun even keep shining? Our hearts are breaking for Kim and the girls, the officer girls as well as Dr Norm and countless others who knew and loved him. This is a hard loss! Our prayers and thoughts are with you all as you grieve and try to heal and figure out where life goes from here.
