Support Karate Dave & Vickie's Final Journey

Honoring Karate Dave & Vickie Carr Smith Support Their Final Journey

Dear friends, family, and extended community,

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we share the tragic passing of Karate Dave and Vickie, a beloved couple who lost their lives in a motorcycle accident. Their love for each other, for life, and for their communities ran deep—and their sudden loss has left an immeasurable void.

Dave and Vickie were more than just riders. They were proud members of the motorcycle community, deeply respected figures in the clean and sober community, and passionate martial artists within the karate world. They were also beloved parents to six children who have grown into amazing adults.

They inspired others through their strength, their recovery, their discipline, and their unwavering support of those around them.

Their journey together was one of growth, service, and resilience. Whether they were encouraging a newcomer in recovery, mentoring students in the dojo, or riding side by side on the open road, they brought light, love, and purpose into every life they touched.

Now, as we grieve, we come together to support their families in laying them to rest with the dignity, peace, and honor they deserve. Donations will go directly toward funeral and memorial expenses, helping to relieve the financial stress of this unexpected tragedy.

If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping their families in your prayers. Every gesture of support—big or small—makes a difference.

Thank you for helping us honor two extraordinary lives. Ride free, fight strong, and rest in peace, Dave and Vickie. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

With love and gratitude,

Cassie Carr
