Today, May 7th at 12:36 PM PST, my father, Brandon McSmith, peacefully entered paradise.

Though we knew this day would come, nothing could prepare us for the weight of the loss. He was a proud father and an even prouder grandfather. He was a fighter but also a comedian through and through. Even though he could be a pain, he was love and will be missed dearly.

As we prepare to say our final goodbyes, we are raising funds to cremate him, hold a memorial, and bring him home to my sister. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us and is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your love, support, and prayers.

With love and gratitude,

Izaiah James McSmith and Family
