Kevin Bruce Smith

Kevin was an exceptional person, so overly intelligent, he got in his own way. I, Mom, called him Einstein. When he was in grade 5 his teacher told me, he was at a grade 12 level in science. So I put him in a private school, where he could excel. Kevin had a gift of music. He started playing keyboard at the age of 7. When he was 15, his music teacher called and said: “You’re wasting your money- he's teaching me”. He also played the guitar. He wanted something more physical, so he took up judo. Then archery, and wouldn't you know it, Bulls Eye!

Kevin was a naturalist his love of life was the outdoors. He went on many survival trips into the mountains. He loved, biking, fishing and hiking. He struggled for so long to find where he belonged. But his life was taken, to the far beyond. His beautiful smile and compassionate heart, will remain in those that love him. I loved him deeply, to the moon and back. Always remember: nothing loved is ever lost.

Kevin is survived by: his mother Joyce Doey, step-father Rick Doey, sister Crystal (Shane Sintzel). Nephew Kiefer Sintzel, uncles: Dave and Rick (Dianna), aunts Janie (Bill), Linda, Jackie (Art). Kevin's best friend Cousin Rob Conley and all his loving cousins.
