Ian Patrick Smith

Ian Patrick Smith was born April 17, 2003 in Durham, NC. He went home to be with his Redeemer on July 2, 2020 in New Braunfels, TX at the tender age of 17. Ian enjoyed reading and history, particularly Roman history. He also enjoyed geography and could accurately name and place all 195 countries in the world on a map. He also liked listening to music and traveling. He took several out-of-state trips with his dad to attend pro football games. Ian liked to pull for the underdog so some of his favorite pro sports teams included the Cleveland Browns, the Carolina Panthers, and from basketball, the Philadelphia 76'ers. Another one of his favorite trips was going to Europe last summer to help celebrate his sister Emily graduating from high school. Ian's ultimate favorite thing in the world was his Pug named Mia. She especially loved Ian and chose his bed as her favorite place to sleep at night. Ian was born to Jason and Sharon Smith and older sister Emily and younger brother Rowan. He is preceded in death by his grandfathers, Larry Smith and Marshall Peterson. He is survived by grandmother Della Peterson of San Antonio, grandparents Tom and Nelda Lockamy of Greensboro, NC, grandmother Diane Tyler Smith of Liberty Hill, TX and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was a beloved son and brother and we cannot imagine our lives without him. Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
