Cecil Edward (Ed) Spence, 83, of Travelers Rest, beloved husband of Dorothy (Dot) Smith Spence, passed away Monday, September 19, 2022.

Born in Miami, FL, he was the son of the late Rev. J.C. and Nezzie Pittman Spence.

Ed was a member of Grace Christian Fellowship where he was involved in the worship music ministry for many years. An avid musician, Ed played the electric guitar and steel guitar. In addition, he enjoyed his career as a truck driver and took pride in his customized ’87 Ford F-150.

For Ed, his biggest love was Jesus and his family. If you knew him, you knew where his heart and faith were placed. He was a man of strong work ethic, conviction, faith and family values. His presence will be missed but his legacy of love and memories will live on through his loved ones.

In addition to his loving wife, he is survived by his son, Steve Spence (Sharon); daughter, Sandy Creasy (Steve); grandchildren, Taylor, Thomas “Ramona”, Jonathan (Virginia), Jessica (Mark), Jacob, and Jennifer; two brothers, David Spence (Janice), and Sammy Spence (Merdis).

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Thomas, Joseph, and James; and sisters, Edith, Ruby, Helen, Louise, and Mary.

There are so many good things I could share about Ed, I don't know where to begin. He was not just my brother-in-law,- I loved him like a brother. All the fun times we've had together- picnics, restaurants, making music - at home and church- so many good memories! He will always live on in our hearts. I am so thankful he will never have to suffer any pain or heartache again. He is at rest with Jesus and we will all meet again soon and have a big reunion in Heaven! Love you all!!

I am truly sorry for your loss. Uncle Ed was as good as they come. As most, when I think about him, I think of him on his steel guitar. Heaven has gained an angel and if they do have a steel guitar player...move over, because you now have the best that there is!!! Heaven is sounding sweeter all the time :).
