Bryant Smith Obituary

Bryant Smith was born on March 23, 1988. He and his twin brother, Dylan, were tired of being cooped up together and decided March would be a good time to make their arrival rather than wait until their expected date in June. This early arrival came with many challenges and complications which Bryant faced with courage, humor and determination. He is a ray of sunshine and will be sorely missed by his parents, Scott and Pat Smith, his brothers, Dylan and Jameson Smith, and all who knew and loved him.

A memorial service will be held at Hood Mortuary on Friday, Nov. 12, 2021 at 4pm. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Community Connections at www.communityconnectionsco.com.

I am saddened to hear of Bryant"s passing. I drove Bryant during my employment with Durango School and he was such an inspiration to me. I also saw him many times after that time and he always remembered me which made my heart so happy!!! God Bless you all during this time.

I remember Bryant as a childhood classmate of my daughter. He was a bright spot at school Christmas concerts and programs. It continued to be special to see him in the community as a grownup. Bryant's presence positively influenced others in ways that are unimaginable and often under-expressed.
