Funeral Information For Active Member Captain Kelly Smith (R122 B) (Fmr NYFD)
Kelly Smith – 16 Mar 1967 – 19 Oct 2024
Kelly Elmer Thomas Smith, 57, of Ramara Ontario found his peace on October 18, 2024. Kelly was born on March 16, 1967, to Bill (William) Smith and Betty (Elinor) Smith (nee Scutchings) in Kingston Ontario. Kelly was predeceased by his father, Bill, his in-laws Garnett and Donna Flaherty, and his brother-in-law Raymond Flaherty. Kelly is survived and sorely missed by his two children, Cole and Ally Smith (and their mother Lynn Smith, nee Flaherty), his mother Betty, his brother and sister Darrin (Heather) and Tiffany (Mike), his niece Jamie (Tyler) and their children Ava & Cleo, his nephew Nathaniel (Nicole) and their son Leon, his brother in law Lawrence Flaherty, his niece Erin (Dave) and their children Aven, Hartley & Mason, his niece Rae-Anne (Taylor) and their son River, his honorary brother Johnny (John) Landry. Kelly will be loved and fondly remembered by many friends, his service brothers, sisters, and family left behind. Kelly was an incredible father, loving son and brother, a gifted athlete, a kind man, and a reliable friend. A mediocre golfer, a hell of a sled rider, and a pretty decent fisherman. The man could build anything with his two hands and a couple of cuss words thrown in. Kelly was dedicated to saving the lives of hundreds if not thousands of people throughout his almost 30-year career at Toronto Fire and was always the first person you could count on if you needed anything. As per Kelly’s wishes, this is not a formal farewell, but we wish to celebrate and honour his legacy.
