Kyle Lane Smith

1998 - 2024

Kyle Lane Smith was born March 4, 1998 in Fort Morgan, CO, to John and Roberta Smith.

He was always a lover of animals, sports and music. He had a great sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh. As the family moved often, he and his brother were best buds and he always made friends wherever he went.

He began school in Basin, WY, where he participated in wrestling and placed fourth in the state. The family moved to Vernon, TX, in 2008 and he found his love for football (but of course, he was in Texas, where football is second only to God). He was crowned homecoming king his freshman year. The family moved again to Big Timber in 2013.

During his school years in Big Timber, Kyle played football all four years, was a captain his junior and senior years and attained the Iron Man Award. He was voted Biggest Heart his senior year. He enjoyed every minute of hanging out and having fun with his friends.

The summer of 2017, Kyle went to Cody, WY, where he did dude rides during the day and rode barebacks at night at the Cody Night Rodeo. He won the series championship that summer. From 2018 to 2022, he worked for his dad on a custom cattle processing crew. He began working for Sweet Grass County in 2023 and was also on the Big Timber Volunteer Fire Department.

He is the father of two beautiful children, Eli and Holly, who he will most certainly watch over from above.

Kyle departed this earthly life on April 27, 2024 and joined his family in Heaven.

He is survived by his parents, John and Roberta, his brother Tyler, his two children, his aunts, uncles, cousins and maternal grandmother. He was preceded in death by both his paternal grandparents and his maternal grandfather.

Cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will be held 10:00 A.M. Saturday May 11 at the Ag Pavilion at the Sweet Grass County Fairgrounds.
