It only takes one small moment to change someones life drastically. This moment was one moment that would shatter the lives of a family when they received the news that their beloved husband and a dedicated father of four passed away suddenly.

Dan Smith was a loving and well respected member of the community. He served as a Buffalo Police officer for 15 years before retiring. His positive attitude and caring affection always shined through during his career and after. Dan was very strong in his faith and his family was the most important thing to him. 


Due to his passing being so sudden he was unable to leave anything behind for his children who he adored more than anything. He had a close bond with all four of them and wanted nothing but the best for their future.  We are hoping to raise money to fulfill his dreams of supporting his children now that he has passed. 

In memory of Dan we a dedicating a memorial fund for his children’s education. He will no longer be able to watch them graduate high school, get accepted into college, nor walk across the stage at their college graduation. He will not be able to watch three of his children perform professionally in the dance industry. Things that he was looking forward to as a proud and devoted father.

We believe that words of kindness also go a long way. If you feel like writing a beautiful note to his wonderful children please email them to the family at [email redacted] or [email redacted]

“Because someone we love is in heaven, There is a little piece of heaven in our home.”
