Edwin Ray

Smith, Iii

Lil man, Lil Ed, Big Sexy, and Uncle Grizzly are just a few names Edwin was known as. He was a red wood tree everyone could lean on, never bending or breaking. Edwin was kind, sweet, loving, honest, giving, and if you needed anything, he was always there. Edwin was the real deal. If he wasn't at work or with family, you could find him sitting in the woods or on a bank with his pole in the water with friends. He had a goofy personality, always wore a smile, he was the life of the party, he was the best dance partner anyone could ask for. He was an amazing son, brother, uncle and the best of friends. His love for his friends and family was unconditional, he was always there, day or night no matter the time. He has touched so many lives in his short 23 years. He will always be loved and never forgotten. Forever 23.

Big Eddy is preceded by Papa Edwin Smith; Papa Mike Fox; great-grandparent Roy Smith, Willis Curnett, Betty Curnett, and Pauline Eitel.

He is survived by his parents Edwin Smith, II and Kira Smith; one brother Brock Smith and sister-in-law Haleigh Smith; one niece Willow Smith; grandmothers Wilma Smith, Carla Fox, and Linda James; and cousins Cortney Tabor, Teaghen Hedrick, Lycan Smith, Corbin Smith, Kaesin Hedrick, Katlynn England, Charlie England, Adian England; uncle JD Smith; aunts Hope Smith, Wendy Smith, and Charay Dominick and many other loving family members and friends.
