William Michael Spitz 56 of Chapmanville, WV formerly of Parkesburg, PA, died on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at Chapmanville, WV. He was born on September 24, 1970, at Wynnewood, PA, the son of the late Robert and Patsy Wyatt Spitz.
William was a man of courageous spirit, sturdy hands, and a heart that met the world with steadfast grace. He lived his days with the boldness of an adventurer, the skill of a craftsman, and the quiet dignity of one who understood both duty and delight. For eight years, William served in the United States Marine Corps, answering the call of duty with honor and resolve. His service carried him through Desert Storm and into Somalia, where he stood among those who bore hardship with discipline and valor. Beyond his military service, William remained faithful to the fellowship of comrades and the remembrance of shared sacrifice. He was a member of VFW 845 in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. William was a man of many interests and talents, and he embraced life with a hands-on approach that made him truly unforgettable. He was an outdoorsman who found joy and peace in camping, hunting, and fishing. William also found joy in creating art, playing guitar, and being an avid car enthusiast.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brother, Paul Spitz.
Survivors include his wife, Keri Spitz; children, Kaitlyn (Kevin Corona) Spitz and Tyler Spitz; brothers, Robert (Melissa) Spitz and Joe (Jess) Spitz; nieces, Tianna Spitz, Tori (Deven) Vongnarath, Ryann Spitz, and Riley Spitz; along with a host of family and friends.
