Robert John Lloyd Spurgeon
December 16, 1981 — April 2, 2016
Robert Lloyd John Spurgeon, loving husband, father, son, and friend passed away after a brief illness on Saturday evening, April 2, 2016. Robert was born in Los Alamos, NM, December 16, 1981 to William Spurgeon and Kerry Dick. He attended Los Alamos High School, UNM, and Central New Mexico Community College. In 2005, he began dating his future wife Liliana Miranda. They were wed in March of 2009 in Albuquerque. Robert and Lily had two sons: Gael, age 13, and Rocco Lloyd, age 6.
Robert was a devoted husband and father. His wife loved to hear him laugh and his two boys were the apple of his eye. Gael was three when they met and he took an instant liking to Robert. Robert nurtured him as Gael became his own. In 2009, they were again blessed with the birth of Rocco Lloyd. The smile and happy disposition of this young boy is given straight from his father, as everyone who has met them both know.
Robert was a Dallas Cowboy FANATIC. He loved football in general, but when it came to the Cowboys, "never was heard a discouraging word." He was an avid video gamer and often spent several hours playing with Gael and inspiring a new gamer. His gaming technical knowledge was a perfect match for his profession.
Robert graduated from UNM and CNM with associate degrees in Information Technology and Business. He worked at HP in Rio Rancho for several years and then moved to The Kemtah Group earlier this year. His coworkers from both his jobs speak of his dedication and loyalty. He will be remembered for his willingness to help when asked with a smile on his face and laughter to encourage all.
He is survived by wife Liliana; sons Gael Miranda, 13, and Rocco Lloyd, 6, of Rio Rancho, NM; mother Kerry Dick and husband Scott Dick of Los Alamos, NM; step-sister Stacey Elwartowski of Gainesville, VA; step-brother Matt Dick of Chicago, IL; father William Spurgeon and wife Lisa Velasco of Rio Rancho; grandparents Dorothy and Robert Carbone of Los Alamos, NM; grandmother Mary Spurgeon of Rio Rancho, NM, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
He is loved by many and will be missed for his kind, giving soul, his bright smile, and his generous heart. A Visitation will be held Saturday, April 9, 2016 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at FRENCH - Westside. A Memorial Service will be held Sunday, April 10, 2016 at 2:00 p.m., also at FRENCH - Westside. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to 529 Educational Accounts set up for Gael and Rocco at Los Alamos National Bank. A GoFundMe page has been established, In Memory of Robert Spurgeon, by Jen Wuin to provide additional short term support to the family.
