MacDonald Sprague Jr.'s Obituary

MacDonald Sprague Jr., 71, of Marshfield, Massachusetts, passed away on August 19th after years of fighting numerous health challenges.

MacDonald Sprague Junior was born in Randolph to Ruth and Macdonald Sprague Sr. He graduated from North Eastern College with honors and began his journey with his father and brothers to become a titan in the roofing industry. Mac was a staple in the lives of his family and friends. He provided support through challenging times, invaluable life lessons and worked relentlessly to improve himself and the lives of the people around him. He built and raced cars as a younger man and then spent many years creating priceless memories with his siblings, nieces and nephews snowmobiling in New Hampshire & Vermont. Ultimately Mac found his passion on the ocean in tuna fishing. Like most things he did, he excelled at fishing and for many years one of his biggest joys was sharing his boat and the ocean with the people he loved.

MacDonald is survived by not only his three children MacDonald Sprague, III, Meredith and Michael Sprague, but also countless nieces and nephews that he treated as if they were his own children. His sisters Mary Ellen and Susan and his brothers Gerald, Rod and Peter will continue to carry the Sprague family legacy into the future.
