He is survived by his stepmother Maija Smith, stepdaughters, Angela Pasquet (and her children Grace and Brady) and Michelle Gibbs (Joseph) (and their children Mitchell, Emma, and Kate); his brother Randall Smith; and his sisters Jill Church (and her children Bobby and Chloe); Lynette Smith and brothers in law, Simone Karkie and Michael Alicie.
