We miss your physical presence, yet in the quiet moments, we remember your smile, kindness, and laughter. The life we shared keeps us strong. Time moves forward, but our love for you did not end with goodbye. You are gone from our sight, but you will remain in our hearts forever.

10 years have passed since that fateful day when you left for work, never to return home to us. Your sudden tragic passing has left us heartbroken. We miss your warm hugs, your humour, your big burly laughter, and the conversations that gave us so much joy. We often wonder what life’s path would have been. There are moments when tears still flow and the pain of losing you feels overwhelming. But we hold on to our faith and your precious memories. Sleep on our precious R.J. Until the Master’s call on that great resurrection. Forever loved and missed by his parents: Retired C.P.O Roger Sr. and Verna Smith, Sisters: Naudia, Jody, Kellee, Kristin and Lauren-Paige, Nieces, Nephews, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Coworkers and Friends. “Beyond the Sunet, O Glad Reunion, Beyond the Sunset, Forever More.”
