It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of William (Bill) Thomas Smith on December 25, 2024 at the age of 81 years old.
Bill will be greatly missed by his daughter Jennifer, son Ryan and grandson Matthew; his siblings Frank (Dell), Sheila, Marlene (Wayne), Darlene, and Randy; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and many dear friends.
Bill was a man who found great joy in the simple pleasures of life. From a young age, he embraced the outdoors spending his days hunting, fishing, and exploring the countryside. He had a deep love for nature and the quiet rural living, which remained a central part of his life. His home was a testament to his love for his family, adorned with cherished photographs and mementos from over the years.
A devoted friend and neighbour, Bill would often help those around him. He was known to be quite the jokester, and will be remembered for his quick wit and sense of humour. His warmth, kindness and humour left a lasting mark on everyone who had the privilege in knowing him.
Bill was predeceased by his wife Bonnie; parents Frank and Elsie; Sister Shirley; Brother Rusty and Brother in Law Walter. He was also predeceased by his niece Deanna.
Bill’s family sends their heartfelt gratitude to the Parkland County’s Paramedics and Emergency Response Team for their utmost care at this difficult time.
Cremation has been arranged and there will be no service at Bill’s request.
Will miss you Uncle Bill. Love you.
