Spenser R. Baskerville
Spenser was baptized in June, 1988 in Iowa City. He was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Spirit Lake, where he was confirmed on May 4, 2003. Spenser was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at eighteen months of age, which he struggled with his entire life. Despite being wheelchair bound and dealing with pain daily, he never complained or was negative about his condition. Rather, Spenser looked upon his situation as a blessing from God. Spenser used this blessing to share his faith in God and his love for Jesus with all he met. His bright smile, sense of humor and loving attitude will be missed by his family and all who knew him. Spenser passed away Tuesday, November 28, 2006 at a Sioux Falls, SD hospital following an automobile accident at eighteen years of age. Left to mourn his death are his parents, Dr. Steve and Sandy Baskerville; siblings, Stephanie, Samuel and Sawyer Baskerville; beloved friend, Lucas Booher. He is also survived by his grandparents, Robert and Marlene Joens of Pocahontas, Iowa, Lester & Ginny Baskerville of Newton, Iowa and Steve and Pat Hinz of Paullina, Iowa; great grandparents, Lena Truelsen and Luvern and Beulah Baskerville; uncles, Tim and Marty Baskerville and Dave Joens (Deb); aunt Gina Johnson (Tracy); several cousins, other family and many friends.
