Michael J. Smith, Searcy, AR— Retired Army Veteran CW2 Michael J. Smith passed away unexpectedly on November 26, 2024. Known to his family and friends as "Instructor, Chief, and Aranon C’ean," Michael’s sudden death has left a profound impact on his loved ones.
Michael’s daughter, Jennifer Smith, has started a fundraiser to help with his cremation and memorial. While the Army will reimburse the family for the cremation costs later, they must pay up front for the expenses, as Michael did not have a burial policy. The goal of the fundraiser is to raise $2,000 to cover these immediate costs, as the family is struggling to afford them.
Jennifer expressed gratitude for any donations, and also encouraged those who cannot contribute now to consider giving later or donating to a veterans fund in Michael’s honor. The family is grateful for the support during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jennifer, her brother, and their family as they honor Michael’s memory.
