William Walter

Lovelace

William Walter Lovelace, Jr. was born May 15, 1955 in Waukegan, Illinois to William and Evelynn Lovelace, who nicknamed him "Scrappy" because he never ran from a fight! On October 25 2025, Scrappy won his last fight and transitioned from this life to God's arms.

Scrappy grew up in North Chicago where he attended North Chicago High School. This where he grew to love wrestling and baseball. He was an avid fanatic for Chicago Cubs, Bulls and Bears. After graduating high school in 1974, he started his career at General Motors until he moved to Toledo, Ohio and worked for Chrysler until he retired.

Scrappy was united in holy matrimony to his loving wife Constance Spearman in 2023, but their original union lasted 29 1/2 years. Although they didn't have children together, Connie's 21 grand and great-grand children were more than satisfying to him, including his extra four-legged babies, Dutchess and D-Rock.

William was preceded in death by his father, William Walter Lovelace, sr. Mother Evelynn Lovelace, Sister Adrienne Lovelace.

"Scrappy" leaves to cherish his memory, wife, Constance Spearman; brothers, Lynn ("Scooter")Lovelace, James (Skipper) Lovelace; sister, Valerie Lovelace-West; aunt, Cleo Wilson, uncle, Leon Hartfield; daughter, Eboni Spearman and a host of relatives and friends.
