Spencer Layne Duhaime

February 9, 2019

Spencer Layne Duhaime passed away suddenly on Saturday, February 9, 2019 at his home at the age of 20 years, after a long struggle with mental illness.

Spencer was born August 11,1998 and lived his entire life in Airdrie. He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Wendy; father, Brent (Gillian) her daughters, Kendal & Mackenzie; sister, Liz (Macklin), nephews, Ryan & Sawyer; his uncle Keith (Aldyn); cousins and friends. Spencer graduated from St. Martin De Porres high school in 2016 where he enjoyed playing in the high school band and had a passion for music. He also enjoyed playing hockey, soccer, camping, scouting and particularly enjoyed the week-long hiking trips that lead him to The Yukon, Alaska, B.C., and the Rocky Mountains. He also loved travelling to the Caribbean and Europe and looked forward to seeing the rest of the world.

Spencer had started his career as an electrician and was currently attending his first period technical training at SAIT. He had a reputation as being a very hard worker, always the first one on the job, eager to learn and kind to work with. A Memorial Mass will be held at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, 1305 Main Street, S., Airdrie, AB on Saturday, February 16, 2019 at 11:00 AM.

I remember growing up with Spencer. As kids in our Kindergarten classroom we had our own secret language, and when I couldn’t say his name correctly he let me call him “Squishy”. Even as we got older and drifted apart he was always a positive presence in every class and was always able to make people laugh. I’m so sorry for your loss, he will be lovingly remembered by everyone he met.
