Chris Smith
1960-2021
Chris Smith, of Dieppe, passed
away on Wednesday, May 19, 2021 at The Moncton
Hospital.
Born in Calcutta, India he was
the son of Clifford and Brenda (Grosse) Smith. Chris spent the
majority of his life in Ontario but in 2018 began a new adventure when
the family moved to New Brunswick, a place he
loved.
Chris enjoyed travelling with
Helen and Alec and they enjoyed many vacations together. His
favourite was the five week tour of the US Southwest with Helen where
they visited the Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion National Parks as well
as family and friends in Montana and Minnesota. Chris enjoyed playing
darts and always hoped he would be able to play again. However,
nothing made him happier than spending time with his family. Life took
a devastating turn for Chris in 2017 but he fought back and overcame a
critical illness and was so grateful for each day he had. Despite the
physical handicaps that life threw at him, he never lost his sense of
humour, his zest for life or his strength to survive and be with the
family he loved. Despite the distance, Chris kept in contact with
family and friends in Ontario and enjoyed sharing his news and keeping
up with theirs.
In addition to his parents,
Chris is loved and remembered by his wife of 21 years Helen (Carson)
Smith, much loved son Alec Smith, brother George (Tracey Monahan)
Smith and his children Nathaniel and Sabrina, mother-in-law Violet
Carson, brother-in-law Bill Carson (deceased) and his wife Debbie
Carson-Lowry and their children William, Jaime and Andrew and well as
numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
