it is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, Bruce Kenneth Smith, fondly known as Smitty, of Terrace BC. at the age of 74. Smitty was born to Robert and Gladys Smith (Auren) on March 1, 1950 in Dryden, Ontario. Smitty’s extraordinary personality and infectious ways, left a mark on anyone who was fortunate enough to cross his path. It comes as no surprise that he carried a great love for his family and friends. He had a strong passion for music, and Elvis was always on the top of his playlist. His distinctive work ethic, sense of urgency and love of life which undeniably included fishing, was experienced by many. It was destined that Smitty’s career in the tire industry, was going to be a huge success and he was determined to take it all the way to retirement in 2019. Smitty, Dad, Grandpa, Husband will forever be remembered and missed by his loving wife Teri, and adored by his three daughters Candy, Jodi and Lindsay. His son in-law Jaecen, his brother Cliff (Lurdes), sister Eleanor (Gary), 5 grandchildren Anothony, Melisa, Montana, Aiden, Bennett, and many more family and friends. For those who would like to honour him, a celebration of Smitty’s life will be held August 3, 2024, at Hidden Acres in Terrace, BC at 1:00 p.m. there will be an interment of ashes in Dryden at a later date. Thanks to all, for the love and support shown to the family in this difficult time. Life will never be the same without Smitty.
