Lee G. Spring, III
June 17, 1969 ~ June 14, 2016
Lee G. Spring III, age 46, of Ashtabula, Ohio passed away Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at Geauga Medical Center. He was born June 17, 1969 in Geneva to Lester and Beverly (Krouse) Spring, Jr. He married Christine Cook in Madison on October 26, 1996.
Lee graduated from Madison High School in 1988. He went to the Ohio Peace Officers Training Academy and became a Madison Village Police Officer. Including his service as a Police Explorer from age 14, Lee helped to serve and protect for over 20 years. Eventually, he left public service and for the last 10 years has worked at the First Energy Perry Nuclear Power Plant as Control Room Assistant. Lee was involved with Ashtabula Little League Baseball and Ashtabula Travel Baseball (GLBL). Everything he did was with his children, grandchildren or all together. He was a huge Cleveland sports fan and if there was a ballgame on TV it didn't matter what sport it was, it had to be watched. Lee was very devoted to his family and was a great provider.
He is survived by his wife of 19 years, Christine; children, Miranda (Chad) Mason, Caleb Spring, Noah Spring; grandchildren, Mya, Carson, Madalyn, baby boy Mason on the way; mother, Beverly Spring; sisters, Dee (Kurt) Weisbarth, Deborah Welch and many loved nieces, nephews and extended family and friends. Lee was preceded in death by his father, Lester and sister, Vicky Lynn Spring.
Friends will be received 2-5 p.m. on Sunday, June 19, 2016 at The BEHM FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 26 River Street, Madison, Ohio, 44057. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday, June 20, 2016 at Immaculate Conception Church, 2846 Hubbard Road, Madison, Ohio. Fr. Sean Donnelly will be officiating.

I am so sorry for your loss.
The Hudson family would like to extend our condolences to the family of Lee Spring. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Not only was he known as Coach Spring to our son but his daughter and son-in-law are great friends to us. Lee's children and grandchildren thought of him as their best friend, it is evident to anyone who spent time with them. I pray for comfort and strength for you all.
