Treat was born March 4, 2000, to
Matthew and Amy Spainhower Spahr in Davenport, Iowa.

Treat was a 2018 graduate of North Cedar High School and he attended UNI for three years majoring in mathematics. Treat loved sports in high school playing baseball (9-10), basketball (12), cross country (9-12), and his favorite track (9-12) where he holds a school record for the 110M high hurdles. He was an excellent student that had good grades. Treat really enjoyed high school and his teachers, especially antagonizing Mr. Kasik. He loved all the friends that he had. Treat also enjoyed vacations, roller coasters, beaches, hanging out with friends and family, challenging himself in almost anything he did and good food. He dearly loved his brothers and sister. Playing, teasing, and wrestling around with them was something he always had time for, and he was a big brother that they could always depend on. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, please direct memorials to the family.
Chapman Funeral Home has Treat and his family in their care. Memories and condolences may be left at www.chapmanfh.com.
