Werner Max Spodat

Werner M. Spodat, of Johnson City, Tennessee, went home to the Lord and was greeted in Heaven by his son, John Spodat, on January 31, 2020.

Werner was blessed to live 83 years.

Left to cherish Werner’s memory is his wife, Catherine Spodat; daughters, Patricia (and Deacon Don) Griffith of Johnson City and Stephanie (and John) Mann of Johnson City; and nine grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his son, John Spodat of Watauga.
