On July 23rd, 2025, we lost our beloved brother, son, and friend, Michael Smith, in a tragic car accident while he was vacationing in Upstate New York. He was just over a month short of his 24th birthday, and his vibrant spirit and unwavering determination touched everyone who knew him.

Michael was a fighter in every sense of the word. He faced challenges head-on and without a hint of fear, as he never stopped pushing himself to grow. Whether it was bettering himself, strengthening his relationships, or working to get ahead of the many problems we face, Michael showed up every day with resilience and heart. His laughter was contagious, his kindness immeasurable, and his loyalty unquestionable.

We are raising funds to give Michael the dignified memorial he deserves and to support our family during this heartbreaking time. Any contribution will go directly toward funeral expenses and helping us honor his memory in the most meaningful way.

As of this initial posting, we do not have arrangements made and are awaiting more information from the jurisdiction in which the accident occurred. We will post updates as they are available to us.

Thank you for standing with us. Your support means more than words can express.

With love and gratitude,

The Smith Family
