Stuart Smith, England—Stuart Smith has passed away, leaving behind a grieving family and a community of friends. Known for his larger-than-life personality, Stuart brought joy to many with his sharp sense of humor and unwavering love for Leeds United. He was a devoted father, brother, and husband, whose battle with illness was fought with courage and strength.
After being diagnosed with cancer in 2021, Stuart worked hard to regain his health. This year, in August, he opted for elective surgery to reconstruct his bowel. Sadly, complications arose, and despite enduring weeks of pain and fighting with all his strength, Stuart passed away, leaving behind a profound sense of loss for all who knew him.
Stuart’s wife, Emma Smith, has organized a fundraiser to cover his funeral costs and ensure he receives the farewell he deserves. Emma described Stuart as her soulmate and spoke of the challenging years they faced together. She hopes that any additional funds raised will allow her to create memorial jewelry for herself and their children, to keep a piece of Stuart close.
The community has already come forward with donations, raising £210 of the £2,500 goal. Among those who have contributed are Victoria Ellis, who gave £30, and Clifford Jones, who made the first donation of £20. The support from friends and family is evident in the heartfelt messages shared on social media.
Emma Jean Smith, close to Stuart, posted on Facebook urging people to donate if they could, showing her love and commitment to ensuring Stuart’s memory is honored. Lisa Patel expressed her intent to contribute soon, while Lee David mentioned his donation, acknowledging that he was doing what he could despite financial difficulties. Leigh Bates Common promised to help in any way possible, and Cliff Jones left a touching message, "God Bless Stu."
Other friends, such as Victoria Louise and Tracie Marson Edwards, sent their love and shared their intentions to donate as soon as they were able. Dom Lerpiniere offered practical advice to Emma regarding widow’s pensions and government support for funeral expenses, showing the community’s solidarity in both emotional and financial support.
We are deeply saddened by Stuart Smith’s passing, and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace, and may his loved ones find comfort in the cherished memories they hold of him.
