It is with great sadness that the family of Kenneth Dominic Smith announces his peaceful passing at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John's, NL, surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday, October 5th, 2016 at the age of 64. He will be forever remembered by his beloved wife and soulmate, Joyce, loving daughters Laura, Johanna and Maggie, his precious grandson Kristian, and by his brothers and sisters Tom (Jane) Smith, Alec (Loretta, deceased) Smith, Helen (Leo) Foley, Leo (Gloria) Smith, Mary (Earl) Williams, Fred Smith, Geraldine (Noel) O'Dea, Elaine Smith, and Gerard (Maggie) Smith. Ken will also be dearly missed by his numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and many close friends. He is predeceased by his beloved son Michael, brother Ronald, and parents James and Bridget Smith. Ken was passionate about the great outdoors, music, literature and the arts. He loved to read and converse about many topics including history and geology. When Ken wasn't enjoying his land in Mobile, fishing in Bay Bulls, or berry picking in one of his many secret spots, he could be found spending summers with family at Spencer's Point in Nova Scotia. Those who knew Ken will remember his kind heart, endless patience, honesty and his quick wit. He was a friend to all and would truly do anything for anyone. Although we may not physically have him with us any longer, he will live on in our hearts, in our minds, and through our acts of kindness. Diver, Dad, Poppa, Captain, we love you ... Rest in peace. The family will be accepting visitors at Carnell's Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road on Friday, October 7th, 2016 from 6-9 pm. A funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, October 8th, 2016 at 9:30 am, at the Basilica of St. John the Baptist, with interment to follow in the Belvedere Cemetery for immediate family. Reception details to follow. Flowers gratefully accepted, or donations may be made to the Michael Beecher Smith Heart Award at M.U.N.
