Not sure what to say?

Was a good friend and helped me get started in life back when I was still a teenager. A man with a lt of Good character.

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

Debby and family,
The Cross Plains Public Library board of directors, staff, and patrons send their condolences. We will always remember with fondness the fundraising dinner for the library that featured Dean and his stories about his amazing life. He will be greatly missed!

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.

I offer my sincere condolences to the family of Dean Smith. May God give your family comfort and peace as you mourn his loss.

You will be remembered for being in the Olympics.

A very good man and wonderful person, May you rest in God’s loving arms. Our love and prayers are with you.

Remember some of these movies from as far back as I can remember.
