Born in Roda, VA, December 4, 1950, he was a son of the late Albert Spears and Muriel Bernice Chestnut. The Rev. C.A.

He enjoyed giving others a helping hand and cooking. He was currently a member of Sonrise Baptist Church in Lugoff, where his son is currently the pastor.

Survivors include his devoted wife for 51 years, Sharron J. Spears; his children, Randall Scott Spears, Jr., Barry Lee Spears (DeeDee), and Alisa D.
