Clay Center, Nebraska, resident Merle August Von Spreckelsen, 64, met his Heavenly Father while at his home Wednesday, June 24, 2020.
Merle August Von Spreckelsen was born January 1, 1956, in Hastings, Nebraska, to Robert A. Von Spreckelsen and LaVon J. (Barnes) Von Spreckelsen.
Merle graduated from Clay Center High School in 1975 and attended CCC in Hastings. He was a man of great depth and even greater love. One of his first loves was working alongside his father and brothers, Lyle and Scot, on the family farm. With that grew his affection for John Deere tractors and memorabilia. He did not miss an Old Trusty Show in Clay Center and was an annual exhibitor.
Though never considered athletic, Merle loved sports and The Huskers. He was often seen carrying a stats book to athletic events, especially for his nieces and nephews.
Merle also had a special way with animals, especially dogs. He loved his furry friends.
He was raised in a home with loving, Christian parents and that was evident by the love Merle showed to anyone around him. He had a true servant's heart and truly loved beyond measure, whether you were a stranger on the street or an old friend.
Merle always looked forward to his "Young at Heart Bible Study," volunteering at Pibel Bible and teaching children about the love of Jesus Christ, his time volunteering at Crossroads Mission Avenue, visiting with his nieces and nephews and serving anyone and everyone. He was honored as the Crossroads Mission Avenue volunteer of the year in 2019.
Survivors include his brothers, Lyle (Peggy) and Scot (Robyn), many nieces, nephews and numerous friends.
Merle was preceded in death by his father and grandparents.
