Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

It is with heavy hearts that we come together to honor the life of our dear friend and coworker, Ashley Smith, who tragically passed away suddenly on Saturday. Ashley was not just a colleague; he was a vibrant presence in our lives for the past 12 years, a devoted family man, and a true outdoorsman who embraced life to the fullest.

Ashley was the cornerstone of his family, always putting his wife, Summer, and their two amazing children first. His love for them was evident in everything he did, whether it was taking them on adventures in nature or simply spending quality time together at home. He had a gift for making those around him feel loved and cherished, and his infectious laughter could light up even the darkest days.

In our workplace, Ashley was known for his positivity, hard work, and unwavering support for his colleagues. He was always the first to lend a helping hand and the one to share a smile during tough days. Losing him has left a void that cannot be filled, and we want to ensure that his legacy of love and kindness continues on.

As we navigate this difficult time, we are reaching out to our community for support. The sudden loss of Ashley has placed an unexpected financial burden on Summer and their children. We want to provide them with some peace of mind as they cope with this tragedy. Your contributions will help with funeral expenses, daily living costs, and ensuring that his children have the support they need as they continue on without their father.

Please consider donating to this fund in honor of Ashley Smith. Every little bit helps and will go directly to his family during this challenging time. We also ask for your thoughts and prayers for Summer and the kids as they navigate this painful journey.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Let’s come together to celebrate Ashley’s life and help his family in this time of need.

With gratitude,

Lauralynn Jiles
