It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Hal Smith, who left us peacefully on June 7, 2025, at the age of 68, in Edmonton, Alberta.
Born on May 30, 1957, in Nova Scotia, Hal lived a life marked by laughter, sarcasm, and a deep love for his family and friends. He was a devoted husband to Cori, a proud father to Zach, and a loving grandfather to Emily and Mackenzie, who brought him endless joy.
Hal had a passion for vintage cars. He could often be found under the hood of a classic vehicle, restoring it with care and pride. He also cherished time spent outdoors, especially camping/quadding trips shared with friends and family. His sharp sense of humour, and genuine warmth made him a friend to many and a steady, guiding presence to those who knew him best.
Hal’s legacy lives on in the stories, memories, and love he leaves behind.
He is predeceased by his parents, Roy and Peggy, sister Lin, and brothers Rick and Mark.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you take a moment to enjoy the open road or spend time around a campfire with loved ones -just the way Hal would have wanted.
He will be deeply missed.
It’s with Great Sadness to Learn of the passing of Hal Smith.
As It’s Been a Honor and a Privilege to know and Call Hal SMITH A Close Dear Friend.
