Thomas Christopher Spreck

Thomas was born December 16, 1966 in St. Louis Missouri. 

The third of eight siblings (4 brothers and 3 sisters), he was quiet, helpful & observant as a child. Once you became part of his trusted few, his energetic, comedic personality would be revealed. Tom was a unique, fun & funny guy. As a child he was called Christopher (his middle name) but started using Thomas or Tom as an adult. Despite all the difficulties & struggles he was forcibly faced with early in life & into adulthood; he was a successful entrepreneur & business person that was self supporting by the young age of 14. Truly an independent, self made man. 

Also a good & kind person. Anyone who knew him would verify this, but not many knew him well. Tom was a generous person and would often help others in need, sometimes to a fault. He wanted others to succeed like he did; especially his siblings & family. Tom often was solitary by choice, with the exception of his pet companions- the last of which was his beloved wolf dog named Soldier. They traveled for many years together. I can imagine them adventuring and experiencing life to the fullest, living stories that could fill a book. Memories of his light will never be dimmed for those who were fortunate enough to have loved him or to have ever been a part of his trusted circle. 

He deserved better in life, but what he created for himself by himself was golden. I feel very proud that he was my brother. I wish we had more time. 

Thomas is survived by his mother; Barbara Spreck of St. Louis Mo. Siblings: sister Carol (Nick) Nye of Ocean Isle, NC, brother Jay Spreck of Chicago Ill., sister Tiffany Spreck (unknown), brother Ryan (Melissa) Spreck (unknown), brother Eric Spreck (unknown), brother Andrew (Angela) Spreck (unknown), & sister Tracy (Joseph) Spreck of Mukwonago, WI. 8 nieces & nephews along with many special cousins, 2nd cousins, great nieces & nephews.
