Obituary For Andrew “Andy” Bryan Smith
Andrew “Andy” Smith, resident of Grande Prairie, AB, passed away on Tuesday, October 26, 2021, at his home, at the age of 76 years.
Andy was born in Portage La Prairie, MB, on December 2, 1944. He lived in Manitoba most of his life in Bagot, Shilo, and Brandon. He built his own house in Brandon, with the help of his parents, and his wife Helen. He moved to Grande Prairie in 1984, when there was no work in Brandon.
Andy enjoyed playing the bagpipes, and would look forward to Remembrance Day, when he would play the Lament at the Cenotaph. He was a member of the 26 Field Regiment Pipe Band in Brandon for over 12 years.
Andy did the odd carpentry and renovation jobs. He enjoyed camping, spending time with his kids, grandkids, and his dog Patches.
Andy will be sadly missed by his wife Helen; sons: David, Donald, and Darcy and their families; his daughters in-law Amy Smith and Victoria Mattson-Smith; grandchildren: Taran Smith, Jaydalyn Smith, Kayden, Bryson, Rylan, Lynden Smith, Kie Mattson, Kristen Mattson, Melody Mattson-Smith, Lexie Mattson-Smith, and Cameron Wassell. He spent a lot of time with his dog Patches, who will miss him dearly; as well as friends and members of the pipe band.
Andy was predeceased by his parents, and five brothers and sisters.
