Tim Smith Memorial Service
Tragedy struck the Smith family on Thursday,
Oct. 20,2016 and none of us will ever be the same.
George Timothy Smith was tragically and fatally
wounded in an ATV accident.
He was bom on March 8, 1948 to Fred Bowden
and Callie Louise Smith. A wonderful day In history
for the Smiths and over the next 68 years for the
entire community of Davie County and beyond. Like
his father before him, who preceded him in a tragic
death, most all who knew him also loved him. He
was hard working, wild and free at heart, always loy
al, and ever seeking to help his fellow man. He grew
up forming bonds that would last for decades includ
ing his best friend Spurgeon Goss, who preceded
him In death In the Vietnam war. He was a loving
son, a devoted brother and a faithful friend. He will
be missed by all who knew him. He served honor
ably in the United States Marine Corps in the Viet
nam war, and in his life. A farmer, rancher, cowboy,
musician, dancer, singer, lover, fighter, and over all
well rounded person, he would live, love and laugh
with all his might.
Survived by his devoted and ioving mother Caliie
whom he loved deeply, truly a momma's boy; his
beautiful sisters Kae, her husband Jerry and Diane,
her husband Stan and their families; his eldest son
and fellow marine Adam, his devoted and loving
wife Ashley and their children Elaena and Timothy
Levi; his treasured princess Jessica, her steadfast
and faithfully loving husband Caleb and their chil
dren Callie, Keiby, and Karson; and his wonderfully
special youngest son Austin and his beloved and
sweet fiance Hannah; and his long time love, Mandy
Cartner, with whom he shared many years including
his last year of his life. She was always there for
him and is loved and respected by the whole of the
Smith family. He lives on in the memories of those
he touched in South Dakota over the past year and
he will never be forgotten in his homeland Davie, in
the hearts and minds of every veteran he touched,
and the lives of all the people he encountered.
He never met a stranger and he never missed an
opportunity to help one if he did. We will miss you
Dad. Forever run with the elk, prowl with the moun
tain lions, and rest in the arms of Jesus. "All who
wander are not lost." We love you.
There will be a public memorial Saturday, Nov.
5 at Hllisdale United Methodist Church with open

Connor Thomas Gaddy
Connor Thomas Gaddy was born Christmas
Day of 2015. He was a true gift from above to his
parents, Chris and Kassy. After 11 bright and bub-
biy months on this earth, Connor was calied unex
pectedly home on Dec. 10, 2016.
On May of this year Connor was diagnosed with
a genetic degenerative neuromuscular disorder
called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. SMA affects about
1 in 10,000 babies and the second largest, death
of infants. It causes weakness in voluntary mus
cles resulting in difficulty eating, breathing, and use
arms and legs. Despite this diagnosis, Connor's
personality blossomed. He was smart and spunky
and could light up a room with a wink or a flash of
his flirtatious grin.
He loved animals, especially his cat Binx, who
could be found laying by his side or on his lap at
any given moment. He loved being surrounded by
his kitties and his "paw patrol."
Connor also proved a love for music by bobbing
his head to the beat of his favorite songs and play
ing whatever instrument was at hand, whether it
was'his drum, maracas, or piano.
His favorite color was red and it brought him joy
during the fun times and the rough times. During
one hospital stay, Connor was given a big, red bal
loon that seemed to lift his spirits until he was able
to ride his red wagon right home.
Connor's life was filled with immense love, but
was not without hardship. Despite this, he was in
good spirits, talking, reaching, and laughing, in
the days before his passing. On the Saturday of
his death, Connor was happy and watching the
lights on the Christmas tree when he became un
responsive. Connor's nurse, Kimberiy, as well as
the Davie County EMS team worked tirelessly to
bring him back, -but Connor had already taken his
journey to Heaven.
Conner brought love and joy to all who knew him
and will continue to do so.,His parents made the
selfless decision to donate his corneas and heart
valves to help other babies live and see, as weH as
donating his body for research to help find a cure
for SMA.
Connor is survived by: his parents, Chris Gad
dy and Kassy Walter; grandmothers, Lorie Walter
and Arlene Wyatt, grandfathers John Gaddy and
Jesse Waiter; great-grandparents Stan and Marge
S.9 Barnett and Maybelle Hill; as well as many aunts,
Q uncles, and cousins.
rt Connor's celebration of life was held at Hiilsdale
^ United Methodist Church with visitation at 1 p.m.
„ followed by a service at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 17.'
In lieu of flowers, his family requested all to bring
^ a lightweight toy to be donated to Cure SMA to go
y to newly diagnosed SMA children in memory of
</> Connor.
