Rico owned and operated Kar Kare Automotive successfully until his health began to decline.
He joined Little Zion Baptist Church in the early 2000s and was a member of the Usher board. He was an avid fisherman, lover of music and also loved cooking for his family. He served his community diligently through car repairs and care, carpentry deeds, small lawn care needs and his mobile food truck.
From his legacy he leaves to cherish his memory His Wife Constance Spencer three daughters ; Adrienne Pusey(Troy) , Alicia Kindred and Consanique Kindred; Two daughters; Ricarla Holloway and Raven Beamon(Micheal) from Late wife Maxine Holloway Spencer; Four daughters; Markisha Boomer, Carlina Spencer, Towanna Spencer and Renarda Spencer; one son Dontre Spencer from First wife Glenda Spencer; two Sisters Veronica Spencer and Quiana Tyson; 21 grandchildren; 15 great grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends.

January 6, 2023 at 5:39 pmMy sincerest condolences to the family of Ricardo Spencer. Our friend whom we’ve known for nearly 40 years, He was a gentle giant, always worked hard – yep he worked on my car many times, was a great cook, and kept me with fresh water fish. He was a loving husband and father. He will be sorely missed!
