I would like to express my condolences to the Spieker family for their loss, I remember Donnie as a fun loving person whom I enjoyed being around, even though it has been at least 30 years since I have been in contact with him, I will always remember the times, and sometimes the trouble, we found ourselves in North Moorhead in the “old day’s”.

  8. Condolences to the Speaker family, Donnie was one my favorite friends in North Junior High and high school, we always somehow survived our adventures, after the military service I stayed out here in sunny Cal but tried to see him when I came home for visits. I miss the friendship I had with Donny but someday we’ll be laughing together again. God Bless

  9. our condolences to family and close friends. I was a classmate at MSHS and MHD tech. I remember him as a total racer.96 forever R.I.P.

  10. Doug, Michael and Donnie’s Family,

    Just today, while watching an episode of Knoxville Raceway Dirt Dreams, I googled Donnie Spieker and found this sad news. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

    I met Donnie in 1972 when I moved to West Fargo and became a neighbor of Bob Johnson. That led me to become involved in sprint cars and I became a friend of Donnie’s. I have so many stories from those years that I could write a book…and as you probably remember Doug…most of it would not be approved on this page.

    Donnie and I had not seen one another since 1976. I was blessed to have run in to Donnie at Volusia County Speedway in February 2012 just as he was moving from Florida back to ND. He was so excited that Michael was flying to Daytona to meet him for the 500. As we left Volusia he gave me a hug that I will place on the top of the list of memories I have of your brother and dad. In those few years that I knew Donnie I have a lifetime of memories.
