We just heard about Spencer and both Shawn and I cried. Our heart aches tremendously for your incredible loss. We remember Spencer's amazing smile and his love for soccer. How he ran among the big kids at skills on Sunday, was never afraid and always tried his hardest. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you and your family.

If you would like the high resolution files or prints of these, I would be happy to donate them to you for your memories.

So much so fast in such a short time frame that little Spencer left our world. Woke up early this morning and was thinking of him and of your family. My respect to the Aggie family as I have come to know. WOW what blessings I have learned from this Aggie world. The college family has been there with you all like I have never seen before. As your designer and friend I have decorated many clients homes with the Aggie stuff galore. At no time did I understand the love for the Aggie and what it meant to each home owner I came to know. I would put all the aggie memorbilla items in all the right places not giving a thought to the love each client had for Texas A&M. Looking back at all of the family and friends who have taken you all in prayers that is something to be said in itself. Spencer touched so many people and what I have learned from all of this is we are all hear on loan from God. We are to slow down life and enjoy each other. Pat and Anna you are so special and to see all of the friends and family be there for you during this time has been awesome for me to be a part of. The next time I am in a clients home and I put out all of the Texas A&M memorbilla it will have new meaning for me and put out with thinking of Spencers life and the Aggie family I have come to know. May God bless you all and be stronger from this. Hug little Ryan and I am sure he is missing his brother and going to for the rest of his life. Your friend,
Lynda Bliss

Dear Squire Family:

Just wanted to say that is so comforting in knowing that Spencer's life is still in our hearts and will be forever and that you all, as a family, gave him a beautifull gift in doing the donations and in sharing his life with all of us.
You've been part of my heart these days(even if we didn't get the pleasure to meet your family), specially because
you've been so courageous at this very hard moment for you all. I'll continue to pray for your strengthen and peace.

Dear Squire Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies for the loss of your son Spencer. We recently moved from CA to Allen, TX with our two children - Andrew (5) and Megan (3). We haven't had the privilege yet to meet your beautiful family but still hope someday to get the opportunity. After looking thru Spencer's Aggie photos, it reminds me of the first time my son Andrew and I had our first father/son outing at a Texas A&M basketball game earlier this year. Your son's photos have reminded me to cherish each and every day with our children. We will always keep Spencer and your family in our prayers especially during Aggie Muster. God bless.

As my own little boy started kindergarten at Boon yesterday, I couldn't help but think of the same pride and joy you must have felt for Spencer just one year ago. We all feel like it's just the beginning-and yet sometimes God has a different plan. As heartbreaking as it is to hear of your loss, I want to thank you for sharing pictures of your beautiful child and family. It is a reminder to all of us to be thankful for all that we have today.
I will pray your family to have a sense of peace with God's will & rejoice at the lives that will continue through Spencer's gifts of of organ donation.

Dear Squire Family,
I did not have the pleasure of knowing your little Spencer, but we are neighbors as I have 3 children (one who attends Boon) and I just wanted to tell you that after I sent my son back to school this morning I kneeled down to pray for continued strength for your family. I know today had to be hard for you all, but after reading about your family we all know exactly where Spencer is today and that he will never again feel sadness or be afraid. What a beautiful lesson you have taught me about treasuring every photo, every word, every moment of our childrens life. Your family will always be in my prayers. I'm sure parents everywhere will be talking about Spencer tonight with their children and saying a prayer about your beautiful family. God Bless.

Hi,

I am writing this on behalf of my step-daughter, Brittany. She was so sorry to hear about Spencer. She did not know Spencer very well, but she did hear stories from myself, her step-mom, and her dad about Spencer's latest escapades and adventures. She also was so appreciative and thankful for the Xmas presents that she got from Spencer......

Once again, she, as well as her immediate family, sent their condolences to myself and Tom via phone messages and a card. I just wanted to relay - via this website - that she is so sorry and is very upset to hear this devastating and sad news.

Her thoughts and prayers are with the Squire family at this time.

Words can not express our deepest sadness for you and your family. When i heard the news my heart stopped - its a feeling that only a parent can feel. He was a child so full of life and love you can see from the many many wonderful photo's - i am just sad that I never had the chance to meet him in person. He has definalty made a mark in many hearts so dear to your family that you have to feel good knowing that he will NEVER be forgotten but only thought about daily - that smile and those eyes will light up many to come for sure.

We will hold you all close to our hearts and keep you in our prayers during this time - just know that he is looking down now and smiling know you all gave him the best life anyone can ever have - full of love , laughter and of course the AGGIE SPIRIT - GIG EM!!!

We love you lots

Dear Anna and Patrick:
The Squires in Kentucky continue to pray for the Squire and Kirksey families in Texas.....
We wanted to share with you that on Sunday we attended Mass for Spencer at the Cathedral of the Assumption. The special prayer intentions for this Mass were for Spencer. After the gifts of Bread and Wine were brought to the altar, Father Bill (he had also presided at Alexandra's First Communion) prayed for those who have gone before us, especially for Spencer Squire. To hear the name of our dear little boy reach the rafters of the Cathedral brought us such peace and comfort. We wish that same peace and comfort be yours with each passing day.
We have chosen a star for Spencer among the hundreds of stars in the ceiling of the Cathedral. Each time we are there, we will look up at that star and think about our angel who has gone before us. Surely Spencer will lead the way.
With much love until we see each other again,
Jon, Linda, Johnny, Victoria and Alexandra

I'm so sorry for your loss. He was such a beautiful young boy. It's strange.... I got on looking for my friend's obituary and instead stumbled upon Spencer's. It broke my heart. It reduced me to tears. How could such a young, healthy looking boy go? I'm so sorry. I know they say that time heals all, but you have to have the will to keep going. Spencer would have wanted you too. And just remember that one day, you will be reunited with Spencer. There is always hope. You will see him again.
My heart goes out to all of you.

I never read the newspaper thrown in our yard but yesterday, I read it and saw the name Spencer as it is the name of our son. As I read further, to my husband, we wondered what could've happened to such a young and active child, so here I am.
Our hearts go out to you as you try to make sense of your loss. I cannot fathom the grief you feel. I am comforted to see the vacation bible school photos, knowing Spencer and you had hearts for the Lord. Even so, it may be hard to find comfort and answers to the question as why He would allow this.
What a beautiful boy and family.
One other message says that he was able to enjoy so much and yes, he did!
You will have no regrets.
Again, we are so sorry. The day will come again when you will all be together in glory.
Our prayers go out to you and his brother.

To Anna, Pat and Ryan,

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your great loss. What I will say is that after he passed away, and your families and whole communities united together to celebrate his life, it was one of the most inspirational messages of hope that I have ever encountered in my life. Spencer brought so much joy to so many people. Although I was away in the military for a half of Spencer's life, pictures of his beautiful face on my desk that you sent me while I was overseas and stories that I heard about him brought a smile to my face everyday. Even after I came home and got a civilian job, not a day would go by that I wouldn't stop whatever I was doing to take a look at pictures of Spencer and Ryan that I always keep with me. I still do this. There are still reminders that I have of Spencer everyday when I walk past the Boston Public Garden and look at the Swan Boats, and when I look up at the room at the Four Seasons where Spencer was playing soccer, as well as the Maggiore's Italian restaurant where Spencer was happily eating fried squid, thinking it was french fries. I think that Spencer will always bring happiness to people's lives, I know that he still does to mine.
