Spencer's Story - Many Lives Touched

A heartbreaking diagnosis that led to a life that has touched many people.

How Spencer's Story Began

As a child, Spencer lived a pretty typical life. If he wasn’t playing outside playing football with his friends, he was probably inside trying to beat a new video game. But Spencer’s life would change on a family camping trip when he was bitten by a spider or some sort of insect. He was sent to the hospital where the doctors would discover life-changing news.

Spencer was diagnosed with encephalitis.

Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain, this delayed Spencer’s mental development significantly. After a decade his encephalitis worsened leaving him in conditions where the family feared he had little time to live.

They contacted us to create a video that preserved precious moments from Spencer’s life and his impact on friends, family, and classmates. This way the family can always remember and be grateful for their dear Spencer.
