Derek Smith
1991-2022
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our
son, Derek Allen Smith, 30, who passed away unexpectedly on July 1,
2022, in Calgary Alberta. Derek was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan to
Jessie (Daryl) Johnson and David Smith. Derek graduated from Westsyde
Secondary school in 2009. He was an amazing son, brother and uncle and
a wonderful friend to many. Derek’s love for music was very
evident and he loved playing the guitar. He always put everyone before
himself and didn’t have a mean bone in his body. He was such
a polite person with an amazing sense of humor and an infectious laugh
that everybody loved.
He will be sadly missed by his immediate family, Janine
(Wesley) Morris; Jocelyn (Stace) DeWolf; Scott (Tammy) Johnson; Shaun
Johnson; and Jennifer Johnson; aunts, Alice “Bubby”
Carrigan; Carolyn “Dudy” Desmond; Juanita Desmond;
Annette (Greg) MacLean; Darlene (Jamie) Johnson; and Karen Smith; plus
many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Derek was predeceased by his grandparents, Evelyn (Bertram)
Graham; Stanley (Evelene) Smith; aunt, Karen “Tiny”
Desmond.
A private graveside service will be held Saturday, July 23,
in Lorne Street Cemetery.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Derek Smith 19912022..
