He was a jack of all trades working as a mechanic, carpenter, cabinet maker, contractor, and farm owner. Still, he could pretty much fix and build anything. He loved to figure things out and had an uncanny ability to learn by seeing; he recently reminisced about watching someone carpet his parent&#8217;s house in high school and then successfully taking on carpeting jobs using the techniques he witnessed.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Of all the things he built, nothing made him prouder than his family.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Left to cherish his memory are his four children, Taara Smith (Geoff), Tyson Smith (Lili), Teela Pitts (Jesse), and Kayla Banks; his fur children Max and Deeks; his grandchildren Anthony, Kendahl, Grayson, Luna, and Jason; his siblings Gayle Smith-Amirault, Glynis Smith-Morin and Jeff Smith; and so many friends and loved ones.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Many found him quiet, but he was thoughtful in his choice of words. He was forgiving, generous, and ingenious. He always found a way to laugh at life; that perspective was contagious.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He will forever be cherished in our hearts.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Wayne&#8217;s children have chosen to celebrate his life privately.
