Honoring Chris Smith: A Legacy of Love and Giving

With heavy hearts, we share the devastating loss of our dear friend, Chris Smith. Chris was more than a friend—he was a devoted father, a compassionate soul, and a bright light in the lives of so many. Taken from us far too soon, Chris passed away at the young age of 44 in a tragic car accident. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering support for others left an incredible mark on this world, and we are dedicated to ensuring that his legacy lives on.

In honor of Chris, we are establishing The Chris Smith Foundation—a tribute to his love, generosity, and commitment to helping others. This foundation will support causes that were closest to his heart:

❤️ Children’s and Family Focused Charities – As an incredible father, Chris had a deep love for children and always went out of his way to help families during difficult times. We want to support organizations that help kids and families in need, continuing his spirit of care and compassion.
Scholarships for Aspiring Mortgage Professionals – Chris built his career in the mortgage industry, and we hope to support others who share the same passion by helping them achieve their dreams.


How You Can Help

We are asking for your support in making this vision a reality. Every contribution, big or small, will go directly toward building this foundation in Chris’s name, ensuring his legacy continues to touch lives for years to come.

Please Save the Date for our first Chris Smith Foundation Event!

Bowling Fundraiser Event – To honor Chris and bring together those who knew and loved him, we will be hosting a Bowling Fundraiser Event on Wednesday, March 12th. Bowling will take place from 4:00–5:00 PM, followed by a gathering from 5:00–6:00 PM to share memories and support one another. You can RSVP for this event by entering the word BOWLING next to your name on your donation. We hope you can join us in celebrating Chris’s life and legacy. Location: Lucky Strike 7502 Antonio Pkwy, Ladera Ranch, CA 92694

Thank you for your support, kindness, and generosity in helping us keep Chris’s spirit alive in the most meaningful way possible.

With love and gratitude,
Michele Kader and Shae Tackman
