Richard D. Spencer, unexpectedly passed on February 4th, 2026.

Richard Spencer, a loving, caring and selfless person who could immediately connect with anyone he met. He was always there to listen and give advice to anyone who was willing to hear what he had to say. He loved to learn new things, enjoy his hobbies, and sharing those and his time with his son. He was an Army infantry veteran, who inspired his son, James Spencer, to enlist in the New Hampshire Army National Guard.

He struggled for many years with injuries and medical issues that seemed to never end. He held on and did everything for the most important thing that mattered to him throughout his life since he was born, his only son.

His legacy will be carried on by his son, James Spencer, as he continues his Army career as a non-commissioned officer. He will share the memories they created and know that his father was proud of who he grew up to be.

He will always be remembered as the loving father that did everything for his son, his friends, and his family.

A service will be held for him at 12 PM on Monday, February 16, 2026 at Newton-Bartlett Funeral Home, 42 Main St, Newport, NH.
