  Jesus gave Wayne L. Springstroh of Appleton, Wisconsin, the best birthday present ever when he died peacefully on July 28, 2017. He was surrounded by his wife/best friend, Candice, and his loving family. Wayne was born July 28, 1949, the son of Ella (Stern) and Herbert Springstroh. God, in immeasurable love, welcomed Wayne into His family through baptism soon after. The Springstrohs loved their Savior and raised Wayne both with a Christian education (St. Matthew Lutheran/Fox Valley Lutheran) and with a home filled with prayer, worship, and the good news of God's love for us. Wayne married Candice Kemper in 1973, which meant the next 43 years would be filled with adventures, laughter, and faith. Wayne worked for Mobile Oil, Proctor & Gamble (account manager), and Fox Valley Lutheran (development director) while Candi faithfully served St. Matthew Lutheran as a grade school teacher for 30 years. Wayne loved life. He knew 93% of Appleton by name and they knew (and loved) him back. Fellow church members, neighbors, and local golfers all enjoyed his infectious smile and warm handshake. Wayne loved his family even more. With God's help, he strove to love Candi like Jesus loves us (Ephesians 5:25) and give his daughters, Kris and Kim, a glimpse of their heavenly Father's heart. His sons-in-law, Eric and Mike, witnessed Wayne's generosity, selfless service, and devotion to God and family. Wayne ran the race of faith with perseverance and passed the "baton" of faith to his children and grandchildren. During his final days, his grandchildren would repeat, "God's got this, grandpa!" That assurance came from the promises they heard from Kris and Kim, which they first learned from Wayne and Candi. After his retirement, Wayne devoted himself to his five favorite passions - family, volunteering, golf, traveling, and Fox News. Frequent trips to Detroit to visit his oldest daughter and her family filled his calendar. Many nights were spent at the Bargain Garden where Wayne devoted his time to help raise funds for teenagers to hear the profound love that God has for the world. Wayne is survived by his wife of 43 years: Candice, Appleton; and his two daughters: Kris and Eric Ruth, Canton, MI; and Kim and Mike Novotny, Appleton; his four grandchildren: Katelyn and Alex Ruth; Brooklyn and Maya Novotny. He is further survived by his brother and sister-in-law: Roland and Diana Springstroh, and brothers and sisters-in-law: Merl and Cinda Meitner, Dean and Wendy Wiech, Rick and Teri Johnson, in addition to numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ella and Herbert Springstroh, his in-laws, Howard and Carol Kemper, and his sister and brother-in-law, Shirley and Lyle Tews. The funeral service will be held on Wednesday, August 2, at 11:00am at St. Peter Lutheran Church, N2740 French Rd., Freedom, with Wayne's son-in-law, Rev. Mike Novotny celebrating the life of Jesus, which gave Wayne's life eternal value. The family will greet friends and relatives Tuesday evening as well as before the Wednesday service. In lieu of flowers, memorials have been established for The CORE, St. Peter Lutheran School, Fox Valley Lutheran, and St. Matthew's Lutheran. While we greatly grieve Wayne's loss, we believe the presence of God is unimaginably greater than the best moments of this life. We also believe Wayne is experiencing inexpressible joy, not because of the wonderful life he lived, but because of the perfect life that Jesus lived for him. "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." -Jesus, John 14:27 Published in Appleton Post-Crescent on July 30, 2017
