He was born in Pontiex, Saskatchewan on February 8th, 1943 to Albert Louis Smith and Annette Emma (Bleau) Smith. Darcy is predeceased by his parents, infant twin siblings Laurence and Lorraine and sister Deanna (Smith) Shcafer. Darcy is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Loretta ; sons Craig (Kendra) Smith and grandchildren Rhett and Lane Jason Smith; Bradley (Lesley) Smith and grandchildren Kalena and Kennan; and his daughter Jennifer (Smith) Whittier (Chad) and grandson Joshua Straub.
Darcy was raised on the ranch with is parents in the Reliance district near Mankota, Saskatcehwan. He attended the Reliance rural school until he finished his grade 12 year in Mankota in 1962. In his youth, Darcy was a member of the Aneroid 4-H club and he was an avid softball player and played on the Reliance Rockets team.
Darcy met the love of his life Loretta Melle in Regina through some friends. They were engaged in May 1969 and were married in Estevan on November 7th, 1970. After their marriage, they took over the ranch where Ab & Annette lived in 1975. They welcomed Craig in 1971, followed by Jason in 1974, Brad in 1978, and Jennifer in 1981.
Darcy loved to hunt, especially pheasants. He was a lifetime member of the Saskatchewan Stockgrowers Association and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation. Darcy was passionate about cattle and had an eye for picking out fancy steers from his own herd for his kids to show. Darcy helped his kids with their 4-H calves and was involved with the Mankota 4-H Beef Club for many years.
Darcy always made sure that his kids were involved in any activities that they wanted to be a part of, especially hockey and curling as well as showing horses. Darcy also coached ball for a while as well. In 1998, Darcy and Loretta made the decision to sell the ranch. After that, Dad worked for various ranchers around Mankota and then moved to Hodgeville in 1999.
In 2004, Darcy and Loretta bought a house in Swift Current. Darcy worked at Wal Mart in the Tire & Lube Bay and retired in 2016. After retirement, Darcy took a lot of pride in his yard work. Darcy and Loretta also enjoyed camping around Saskatchewan, but especially in the Cypress Hills.
Darcy was a jokester, and a friend to all and never met a stranger. He always enjoyed a friendly conversation or a debate over politics and he was also a history buff. When Darcy would go shopping, it could take hours to complete if he came across a friend. Darcy was especially proud of his children and even more proud of his 5 grandchildren.
Darcy’s celebration of life will be held at Parkside Funeral Home in Swift Current Saskatchewan at 69 4th Ave NE, on October 15th, 2024 at 2PM. An internment will be held at a later date.
