We always looked forward to attending the Bobby Norris Roundup for Autism over the past many years and one of the highlights was seeing Dean Smith participate in the Celebrity Rodeo and visit with him at the Roundup Gala Banquet. This event will not be the same, we will miss you but look forward to seeing you again one day in Heaven with our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.
God bless the Dean Smith family,
Shanda & Lance Perkins

I had the pleasure of meeting Dean many times. His home ranch is nearby my in-laws ranch. He was funny and charming. The stories my late mother-in-law Eugenia would tell about "Dean" were always entertaining. My heartfelt condolences go out to the Smith family and his extended friends.
