It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved father, John Newton Spangler, who left this world on Monday, January 20, 2025 at Meadow View Nursing & Rehab in Harrisonville, Missouri. A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at the Atkinson Funeral Home in Harrisonville, MO.

John, born September 27, 1958, lived 66 adventurous years. Family he leaves this world to includes his three children: Jennifer Singleton and her three children, Katelin (and daughter, Stella), Koda, & Kaleb; Nichole Spangler and her two daughters, Regan and Berlin, and son, Damien; and Sean Spangler and his two sons, Lukas and Lincoln. As the oldest of ten children, John also leaves this world to his siblings: Mona Stevens, Bruce Spangler, Earon Spangler, James Spangler, Stuart Spangler, Charles Spangler, Anne Hansen, Barbara Southards, Margaret Arwood, and Christy Yancey and all of our respective family members not mentioned. John greets his parents Newton C. Spangler and Margaret Anne Spangler.

The family asks that you take a moment to thank a caregiver for their extraordinary strength and compassion as they diligently care for our loved ones in your absence.  Their contributions and frustrations may not always be acknowledged, but are deeply appreciated! We would like to send a special, heartfelt thank you to everyone at Meadow View Health & Rehabilitation Center!
