When Todd and I were dating spent many times at John & Joyce pool with family gatherings. Kevin was always nice to me, friendly conversations. It was a pleasure knowing him and the whole family.

Celebration of Life slideshow, for those that didn’t get an opportunity to view it.

Unfortunately, I won't be there to celebrate Kevin. I'm so sorry for your loss. He will be missed.

My condolences are with the Smith family. I first met Kevin when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I grew up a few blocks away from the Smith family in Pacheco, California. Kevin had a massive impact on my life. The morals and life lessons he taught me for over 20 years are something that I will cherish forever. From 6 - 12 years of age, I was with Kevin and the Smith family in some capacity almost every day. Kevin was my basketball coach for those years and was one of the main reasons I fell in love with the game at a young age. From carpooling us to our YMCA games/travel games/practices, the countless hours he spent pouring his passion and knowledge of the game into us, but most of all the hard work ethic he instilled in us all is something that really helped shaped me into who I am today. And I know there are countless other kids now Men in their late 20s from the East Bay that can say the same thing. One thing he always made sure of was that school always came before sports. He made sure we were doing well in school before we could do well on the court or field. I'll always thank him for that because I don't make it through college without that foundation he set for us throughout the years. Without Kevin, I would have never had a successful basketball or school career in high school, leading me to play at Chapman University and earn a degree. Kevin Smith was a phenomenal human being. The way he raised Justin, Devin, and Cam and being able to have a front-row seat to it is something I'll cherish forever. In many ways for a large portion of my young life, Kevin was that father figure for me. My dad worked a lot while I was growing up and Kevin took me under his wing like his own blood. For that, I'll forever be indebted to him and the Smith family. It wasn't just sports either, Kevin had a great passion for the arts, and the love that I have for music and other arts, a lot of that comes from Kevin. I will forever cherish the sleepover nights at the Smiths watching classic movies, listening to amazing music, and just enjoying the company of the friends and family that would be with us on those days and nights. There are people that come into your life and make an impact that is impossible to measure, and Kevin Smith was one of those individuals for me. It pains me to write this, it sucks, it hurts, and I know there are many people feeling this same pain after his passing. I thank Kevin for all he did in my life. The grief doesn't go away but I look forward to carrying on his legacy through what he instilled in me over the years. To Tracy, Justin, Devin, and Cam, I love you guys and thank you for allowing me to be an honorary member of the Smith family. Rest in Paradise Kevin Smith. 

Rest In Peace and Love Kev!

I was so sorry to hear about Kevin's passing. He was a great friend for over 50 yrs.  He truly loved his family.  God Bless 

My name is Marissa Ordonez I work as a office manager at a chiropractic office. I was blessed to meet Kevin at Unbroken Body chiropractic, We instantly become friends and connected over talking about life and my two boys, the sports my kids play, cooking, as well as talking about  his sons (He was so proud of his kids) although I had a very brief time with Kevin he definitely made me feel like he really cared for me and genuinely interested in how my kids are doing,  he was supportive of me and my life as a single mother. Every time he had an appointment I was so happy to see him even though it hurt my heart to see him in pain. I am grateful we had our  little moments chatting in the waiting room, these little interactions made my day so much happier.  He was a true sweet soul and you could tell he truly cared about people, his family and his sons. I send my condolences, love and prayers of healing  to his family.  May Kevin Rest In Peace. 

my prayers  are with family I sad for your loss Kevin always been a good friend for long time when I met Kevin at the gym in Walnut Creek Middle School on early Sunday Morning playing Basketball over 10years nothing but gentleman at all time since knowing him. Small world I knew Kevin before I knew Sam didn't know Sam and Kevin was friend. I found out that they were friend Sam kept talking about his best friend  Kevin then I finally met Kevin that I already knew.  God is good all the time. Love you my brother.

I’m really sorry for your loss. Your dad was one of the most supportive basketball parents growing up. He always motivated not only his kids, but their teammates. I’ll always remember him actively watching our games in any and all  Bay Area basketball gym bleachers. Take care Smith family! ❤️ 

I am so sorry for your lost. May the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob guide, order, and strengthen you in this time of lost!  

Peace, Polly

I am very sad to hear of Kevin’s passing. I’ve known Kev for years and every time we met he was genuinely interested to hear how my family was doing and he would also let me know how his boys are doing. He was so proud of those boys!  I am certainly going to miss those warm and wonderful times catching up with him. Lots of love and prayers going out to The Smith Family. Sincerely, The Kieffers

I'm so sorry to hear about Kevin's passing. My heart goes out to Camrin, his family, and his relatives. I would always remember seeing him and saying hi to him at our practices, and games, and just talking about basketball with me and my dad. He was always so supportive and motivating to us, always showing positivity and love for the sport. Hurts my heart and may he rest in peace.

We’re so very sorry for your dear dad’s loss.  We always remember his jovial ways from your toddler years with Nicole at Klava’s all the way thru high school!  May he Rest In Peace and you all find  comfort in your beautiful memories with dad.

Condolences to Camrin and family, your dad was one of the kindest persons I remember from College Park Basketball days. Always on the bleachers at the games… always open, kind and communicative. I am soo sorry for your loss.
