SCOTT's obituary
August 5, 1973 - March 13, 2021
Tribute
Scott Christopher Klaus Smith, father, son, brother, uncle, and devoted friend to many, is in peace and in the arms of his father who preceded him in death. Scott was 47 years old and left us way too soon.
Scott was born August 5, 1973 in York, Nebraska to Richard (Dick) and Elizabeth (Beth) Smith, Scott was a joy from the first day. He was always full of energy, ideas, excitement, laughter, and had the biggest heart ever. He came home to a house full of brothers and sisters, which he kept entertained constantly. Scott graduated from York High School in 1992. In 1994, Scott moved alongside his family to Mississippi and then on to Alabama. Scott and Brandy had a beautiful daughter on May 5, 1999. Kayla was his joy! He was the father that kept life exciting around every corner, and he loved Kayla with every bit of his heart. He married Stacey McDonald in 2007, and became a stepfather to Samantha and Randall, who he dearly loved and treated as his own. Scott loved working with his hands; he loved the outdoors and was a friend even to animals. Scott enjoyed Nebraska Football, and was an avid fan of his nephew, Jacob when he was in sports. Hoss (Scott) never missed a game and was never a quiet one in the stands! His enthusiasm for everything he held near and dear was evident. Everyone has a funny story to tell, an adventure to remember and most of all, the memories of his selflessness when he knew he could help you out. Laughter came easily when Scott was around. He will be remembered for his teasing jokes, his ability to quote any movie he has seen, his wildly entertaining stories, his infectious laughter, his generous smile, and his immense love.
Scott’s memory will be cherished and kept alive by his beautiful daughter, Kayla Smith of Mobile, AL; his mother, Elizabeth “Beth” Smith of Sioux Falls, SD; brothers, Robert Smith of Durango, CO, Dr. Michael Smith (Dr. Nichol Smith) of Sioux Falls, SD, and their children, Parker, Rylee & Kaleb, Joshua Smith (Breann) of Castle Rock, CO and their children, Kyson, McKaden and Brexley; sisters, Michele Smith Loussaert (Pat) of Daphne, AL, and their children, Brennan (Hilary), Kellan (Elizabeth), Tegan and Jordan (Jade), and Zoey & Riverleigh, Kim Smith Brackhan (Greg) of Spanish Fort, AL and their children, Jacob & Meg; his foreign exchange sisters, Pamela Knox of Peru and Kim Jocumsen of Australia; forever friend, Stacey Smith, Samantha McDonald, Randall & Lauren McDonald and Grayson; his longtime friend, Alisha Dickens. Scott was blessed with so many family members and friends, too many to mention.
Scott is following those he loved dearly that left before him, his beloved father, Richard C Smith; his paternal grandparents, Charles and Mildred Smith; his maternal grandparents, Kenneth & Mildred Rapp; aunts and uncles, Jerry Rapp, Sr., Don Helgoth, Jean (Sis) & Don Speck, Jack & Ruth Smith and Buddy; and cousins; Richard Helgoth, Leon Speck & Gregg Rapp.
May he find the eternal peace and joy he so dearly deserves, walking side-by-side with his beloved Dad.
