Kolbie Spence Obituary (2008 - 2023)

Kolbie Zackariah Spence, age 15, passed away on Saturday, August 5, 2023, in Nashville, TN, surrounded by his family. Kolbie was born, April 3, 2008, in Covington TN, to his parents Brett Spence and Lacy Haley. He would have been a sophomore in Highschool this year. Although Kolbie's life was cut short, he lived it to the fullest. He loved to play in the mud as a child and never grew out of it, he just changed the ways that he played in it. Instead of using his hands and feet to get covered in mud, Kolbie preferred to let the knobby tires of a go kart or four-wheeler do it instead. He was inquisitive and thoughtful, never met a stranger, and because of his charming personality he never had a problem making friends. Kolbie was loved by his family and friends, and he will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Those left behind to cherish his memory are his mother, Lacy Jaramillo (Manny); father, Brett Spence; brothers, Carter Spence, Brennan Long, Thomas Long, and Elijah Stipe; paternal grandparents, Chris Spence, and Linda Spence; maternal grandparents, Terry Haley (Phyllis), and Amanda Goodwin (Dale); his uncle, Chad Spence (Tracy), and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Visitation for family and friends will be Friday, August 11, 2023, from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm, at Ronk Funeral Home. The service will immediately follow at 3:00 pm in the chapel.
