Daniel SMITH Obituary

Age 31, of Vadnais Heights Passed away unexpectedly September 14, 2022. Many of Danny's family and friends have said that some of their most fun and hilarious memories were with Danny. Danny had a huge personality. He was clever and witty, and always had his family and friends laughing hysterically at his antics. Danny graduated high school and then joined the Army National Guard where he served for 9 years. Over the course of his life, he worked in various union labor jobs, including his recent job doing masonry work. Danny was preceded in death by his father, David Smith, Sr.; and his grandparents, Noble and Mary Smith, Jerome Campbell and Lorraine Fitzgerald. Danny is survived by his mother and stepfather, Lorrie and James Fosse; his siblings, Rani Goerges (Tyler Bailey), Christina (Aaron) Hopp, and David Smith, Jr.; along with his adored nieces and nephews, and many other aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends that will miss him dearly. A celebration of Danny's life will be held on Thursday September 29, 2022, from 3:30-7:30 pm at Jimmy's Bar & Event Center, 1132 Co Rd E East, Vadnais Heights, MN 55110. In lieu of flowers the family asks that a memorial donation be made to offset funeral expenses.

I miss you every day and night. I think about all the memories we have n I want to relive them all over again. I talk to you all the time I hope you can hear me. I used to be so annoyed/happy/I don't even know. Surprised by your laugh n it would always make me smile. I can still hear your laugh when I think about you n I hope that never goes away. I love you and still can't believe your not here physically. You are in my heart and will forever and always be. I was so blessed to have met you and have you in my life for as long as I did. I wish I could just spend one more day with you. I can't wait to see you again. Say hello to everyone up there for me. I love you
