To my love, my life, it is with great heartbreak to announce your passing. A time way too short that we shared together. On Wednesday August 5, 2026 at the young age of 50 years we lost the ability to hug you.
Loving husband of Julia Smith (nee Forbes), ever proud father of Larry, Ellen, and William Smith. Caring son of Larry Smith (deceased) and Dianne Royal (formerly Smith) and her husband Curtis Royal. Dear brother of Kimberley Henry (nee Smith), and Robert Henry (Kaitlyn and Braeden Henry). Son in-law to John and Jill Forbes. Brother in-law of Josie Ellis (nee Forbes), and Gregory Ellis (Ryinn and Jordan Ellis).
My heart will be forever changed.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Essa Agriplex, 7505 10th Line, Thornton on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 1-5 pm.
