Looks like someone has been peeing on your tree. 
Kind of looks like damage from salt spray. Interesting to hear what it is.

Has too much time on their hands
Gypsy moths? It could have been the caterpillars and they've already done the damage and moved on. Lots of them this year. Although they supposedly don't bother with spruce trees.

I have not noticed any on the tree.... You would think I would be able to see some of them or their nests... I was looking at it a couple weeks ago and thought it looked a little off but really noticed it yesterday once a friend mentioned it to me.

Check it really close for spider mites. They are hard to see, but usually you can see the needles stuck together where their webs are. I had a similar issue a couple years ago. I got some spray from a nursery.

I went back out after reading some of the comments this time with my glasses on and I think you are right. Looks like there are lots of them on it.
I see a lot of what looks like cluster of droppings. (at least I think they are droppings)... Is there anything I can do or is this tree going to be done.
It will come back but still have bare areas. I would leave it

Fratri-sorry for Your tree.
I think Your best bet would be if You would go to a reputable local Nursery person ,and ask his review ON SITE.
He will give You remedy recommendation also(if available).
Absolutely NO OFFENCE to all helping memebers, but on site personal review by a knowledegable person will be the best help.
I think time is of essence for Your tree.
The SOONER ,the better.
As far as moths go-wrap a tree trunk with a sheet of burlap.Remove the burlap and toss it in a bucket of soapy water 2-3 x a week.The burlap acts as safe heaven for caterpillars moving up/down the tree-they will remain in the burlap. You can also hand pick them from the burlap and toss them in soapy water.Lots of Google explanations for this trick............
Let us know.
