David L. Spradlin

David Lee "Dave" Spradlin, 55, of Albemarle County, passed away on Tuesday, December 13, 2011, at his home. He was born on September 5, 1956, in Charlottesville, the son of Wilma H. Spradlin and the late Raymond L. Spradlin. He was also preceded in death by a brother, Teddy J. Spradlin. In addition to his mother, survivors include a son, Mikie Spradlin and wife, Lisa, and their children, Landon and Madison; a daughter, Leigh Anne "Bitsy" Adcock and husband, Todd and their daughter, Parker; the mother of his children, Jean Spradlin; his siblings, Liz S.

Dave was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting and riding horses with his family and friends. He was always willing to go the extra mile to lend a helping hand. He usually began his day at the local "hangout", the 620 Market where he had lots of stories to share that often provided folks with a unique nickname.
