Samuel “Todd” Smith passed away at the age of 53 on June 11, 2025. Todd grew up in Enid, Oklahoma, where he experienced a childhood filled with wonderful memories of family, friends and the occasional shenanigan. Todd proudly graduated from the University of Oklahoma and then eventually moved to Overland Park, Kansas, where he began his own family with his then wife, Sheila. Todd was a kind and generous person who wore his heart on his sleeve and would do anything for anyone. He enjoyed making people laugh and went out of his way to make others feel welcome. He was adventurous and strong. Todd cherished being a dad above all else. He was so proud of his daughter, Sam and his son, Jackson. He loved them deeply and will be watching over them.
Todd leaves behind family and friends who loved him and will miss him greatly, including his mom and stepfather, Mary and Rob Stallings of Enid, OK, his sister and her husband, Susan and Ryan Nelson and their sons of Edmond, OK, his former in-laws, Harold and Carole Knight of Pryor, OK, Wanda Knight of Norman, OK, and Marsha Knight of Colorado Springs, CO, along with numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Todd’s family takes great comfort in knowing that he has been reunited with his father, Sam, in heaven.
The family is hosting an informal celebration of life at their home for friends and family to come by and honor and remember Todd on Monday, June 16th anytime between 4 to 6 pm. Contact the family for more information. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Red Cross in Todd’s name.
