Spencer Gerber, 76, of Overland Park, Kansas, died on Dec. 18.
Funeral services were held on Dec. 20 at Louis Memorial Chapel, followed by burial at Rose Hill Cemetery. Kindly omit flowers; the family suggests contributions be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.
Spencer was born Jan. 28, 1948, to the late Martin and Faye Gerber in Kansas City, Missouri. He graduated from Southwest High School in 1966 and received a degree in business from the University of Kansas City Missouri in 1970. He married Bronna Gerber in 1970 and was a lifelong Kansas City area resident.
After college, he worked with his father, Martin, at his Chrysler dealership in Independence, Missouri. He next worked in real estate before starting The Gerber Insurance Group more than 40 years ago.
Spencer was a member of The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah where he served as brotherhood president and sat on the temple board. He was an advocate for the Alzheimer’s Association and was a large fundraiser for the cause, as his mother had Alzheimer’s.
Spencer was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Sherry Fink. He is survived by his wife, Bronna Gerber; his son, Zachary Gerber; his daughter-in-law, Julie Gerber; his two grandchildren, Wyatt and Liam; as well as his brother, Ron, and his wife, Kim.
