Kessler Clay Springer, age 4 of Murphy, NC passed away on or about
Thursday, February 29th, 2024.
He was the son of Clay Springer and twin brother to Connor Thomas of
Murphy, NC. Kessler was older by two minutes and lived up to being the
older brother. He watched out for Connor, would bring him tissues when he
cried and would bring him ice water when thirsty. Kessler was a sweet,
gentle, loving boy. He had an outgoing personality and an amazing sense
of humor. He would tell you the sky was purple just to make you laugh.
Kessler loved cars and trucks and trains, and he always wanted to be a
fireman and save the day. He had so much fun jumping on the trampoline
with his brother and friends. He loved helping around the house and
participated in chores like cleaning and his personal favorite: washing
clothes with Gaga.
He was preceded in death by his paternal great-grandmother, Electa
Duncan; his great-aunt, Judith Hayden; and his maternal grandmother,
Ellen Lyons Gremling; all of Indianapolis, IN.
In addition to his father, he is survived by his Nana and Gramps, Anne
Duncan and John Goldberg of Indianapolis; Grampa and Granny Cat and
Auntie, Ken and Cathy Springer and Jan Springer of Indianapolis; Poppy,
Tom Gremling of Murphy; Unkey Dave, David Gremling of Murphy; Aunt
and Uncle, Jackie and Russ Larish of Knoxville; Gaga and Mimi, Laura and
Marlene and Mr. Gary of Marble; many more loving and doting Aunts,
Uncles, and Cousins; and a slew of best friends.
