Support Kaye Smith After Daniel’s Passing

Donation protected
On July 26, 2025, Kaye Smith lost her beloved husband, Daniel, at their home. Daniel, 59, was known for his quiet strength, generous heart, and unwavering loyalty to his family, friends, and community. Born in Kansas to a proud military family, Daniel made friends everywhere he went and left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He dedicated much of his life to helping others, especially through his volunteer work with Friends for Life Animal Haven and Speak for the Unspoken, where he fostered rescued puppies and supported animal welfare efforts in his community.

Daniel and Kaye recently celebrated 34 years of marriage, a testament to their deep love and enduring bond. Daniel worked at All Hydraulic, where he was respected as a mentor, loyal coworker, and true friend. His patience and kindness touched everyone around him, and his legacy of selflessness and joy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

With Daniel’s sudden passing, Kaye is now facing overwhelming expenses, including funeral costs, mortgage payments, medical bills, and past due bills. Daniel did not have life insurance, and the financial burden has become urgent. Kaye is at risk of losing her home without immediate support. Any help you can give will make a tremendous difference and is received with immense gratitude. Your generosity will help Kaye cover these critical expenses and honor Daniel’s memory by allowing her to remain in the home they built together.
