Kyle G. Smith

Smith, 26, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, August 4, 2020.

Born in Providence, he was the son of Gardner A.

Smith, Jr. of Pawtucket and the late Debra L. (Coppock) Smith.

Kyle was a gregarious and quick-witted free spirit who made friends wherever he went.

He worked at Hurder Millwork in Lincoln, where he applied himself to master his trade.

Kyle was passionate about music; two of his favorite annual events were Record Store Day and the music festival Bonnaroo.

He dreamed of one day having a family of his own.

Outgoing and outspoken yet deeply caring, Kyle will be remembered fondly by his family and many friends.

Besides his dad, he leaves his sister, Cailee Smith of Burlington, VT; his aunt, Cairn Smith and her husband, Charles Jankowski; his uncle, Mark Smith, his wife Beverly O’Connor and their daughter, Aimee O’Connor, all of Pawtucket; maternal family in Massachusetts, Ohio and the Carolinas; and the many friends he made throughout his life and adventures.
