Christopher Allen Smith

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Christopher Allen Smith on Dec. 11, 2021. He was 51. 

 

Chris will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his four children and their significant others: Lexi (Greg), Delayna (Tyler), Hudson (Meghan), and Bennett (Emma). He will be fondly remembered and cherished by his high school sweetheart Shelly Smith. Chris was the beloved son of Fred and Teuni Smith, the brother of Steve (Kim) and uncle of Stephanie (Riaz) and Stacy. He will be greatly missed by many relatives of the Smith and Van Loo families.

 

Chris was a family-oriented man who loved and cherished his life on the farm. Whether he was fixing something that was broken or building something new, he worked tirelessly doing what he loved each and every day. He enjoyed going camping in the summer and building ice rinks in the winter for his kids. Chris loved spending time with family and friends making memories, sharing a laugh and having a good time. He will be sincerely missed by his fellow work family at Brussels Transport and all the farmers near and afar who have touched his life.

 

Dad… although your time here on earth was cut short, we will love you forever. Your strength and hard-working and dedicated attitude will live on in each one of us.

 

On Saturday, Dec. 18, a graveside service will occur at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Ethel  at 1 p.m. An invitation is extended to those who would like to attend. COVID-19 restrictions will apply. 

 

Memorial donations to the Ontario Lung Association, the Brussels Blyth Minor Hockey Association or  a charity of one’s choice would be appreciated.
