Aaron Dean Spaugh

Aaron Dean Spaugh (""Dean""), born on May 24th, 1929 to Felix Aaron Spaugh and Sophie Sharpe Spaugh, peacefully passed into his lord and savior, Jesus Christ's, arms in the early morning on April 28th, 2016. Dean enjoyed a wonderful 67 years of marriage with his wife, Ruth. He was a lifelong member at Hope Moravian Church, where he taught Sunday School, sang in the choir, and played trombone in the band. In recognition of his service, Hope Moravian Church established the A. Dean Spaugh Men's Bible Class. Dean drove an oil truck for over thirty years and enjoyed each day. A self-taught fiddler, Dean loved bluegrass music and played in bluegrass bands, including Plank Road Bluegrass and The Piedmont Entertainers, for most of his life. He also loved sharing stories that most often ended in a hearty laugh that would brighten your day. Dean was a devoted and loving father to Dan (Patricia), Gerald (Barbara), and Max; grandpa to Joshua, Christopher (Meredith), Jeffrey, Patrick, Tammy Watts Quesinberry (Jerry), and Tyler Watts; and great-grandpa to Katie, Lillie, Liam, Benjamin, Jack, and Wesley. He is preceded in death by his parents and oldest son, Dan. Dean is also survived by his sister, Emma Lou Swaim. The family also expresses its gratitude to three special caregivers, Jana, Debbie, and Michelle. Friends and family are invited this Saturday, April 30th, to Hope Moravian Church (2759 Hope Church Rd, Winston-Salem, NC 27127) for a visitation at 12:00pm and funeral service at 1:00pm. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Dan E. Spaugh Youth Mission Fund at Hope Moravian Church.
