Support for Justin Smith and His Family After Tragic House Fire

On behalf of Long Foundation Drilling Co. and Parks Drilling Company we are reaching out to support our friend and coworker Justin Smith and his family during an unimaginable time of loss and heartbreak.

Justin and his family recently suffered a devastating house fire that resulted in the total loss of their home and all personal belongings. Tragically, the fire also claimed the life of Justin’s precious 2-year-old son, Arie, pictured here in his father’s arms. No parent should ever have to endure such a loss, and words cannot fully express the grief and pain the family is facing.

As they navigate this overwhelming tragedy, we want Justin and his family to know they are not alone. Our goal is to help provide immediate financial support for:

Emergency housing and basic needs

Clothing, food, and daily essentials

Funeral and memorial expenses

Long-term recovery as they begin to rebuild their lives

Justin has always been a dedicated coworker, a caring father, and a loyal friend to so many. Now it is our turn to wrap around him and his family with compassion, generosity, and prayer.

If you are able, please consider donating to help ease the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time. Any amount—large or small—will make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and love for the Smith family.

Please keep Justin, his family, and the memory of young Arie in your thoughts and prayers.
