Dewey Smith Memoriam


IN LOVING MEMORY OF
DEWEY DEWAYNE SMITH
12/30/1954 - 02/11/2016


Dearest Dewey, it's hard to believe it's been ten years since you left. That day changed our lives forever in ways we could never have imagined. The countless lives you touched with your kindness and generosity will stay in our hearts forever.

You left behind a powerful legacy of love, faith, strength, and beautiful memories that continue to guide us. Not a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts, prayers, and hearts. You were truly one of a kind: the best brother, father, son, grandson, grandfather, uncle, husband, and friend.

You are forever loved and deeply missed.

Your sister and best friend, Patricia, loving family and friends.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

My amazing big brother Dewey, it´s been ten years since you left me, and not a day goes by that I don´t think of you. I still find myself wanting to call you, to laugh with you, to hear your voice and share the little things that only you would understand. We had so much fun, endless joyful times and a bond that could never be broken. I miss you more than words could ever say; your presence, your advice, and the comfort of knowing you were always there. You were my protector and my best friend. You taught me what loyalty means, what unconditional love looks like, and how strength can live quietly inside a person. Though life feels different without you, I carry your wisdom in my choices, your courage in my struggles, and your love in my heart. I know you and Alfred watch over me and I know you see how deeply you are missed and how endlessly you are loved.
You are forever part of who I am, and I hold you in my heart always and forever.
Your sister,
Pat
