Francis Spiess Obituary
We are sad to announce that on July 30, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Francis Spiess (Independence, Missouri). You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As Francis departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Francis may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Francis leaves behind.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his children, Tim, Susan, Ruth Ann and Shannon; and his wife Eileen.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, September 6th 2025 from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM at the Independence Uptown Market (211 W Truman Rd, Independence, MO 64050).
In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to go fishing, plant something in the garden, play a hand of cards, sneak your dog a treat when no one's looking, or tell a story that may or may not be entirely true—in Francis' honor. Donations to Shep's Place Senior Dog Sanctuary or your local animal shelter would be an extra special touch.
