Obituary for Smith


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Friday December 27, 2002

Dirk Norman Smith tragically passed from us early Monday, December 23, 2002. Dirk was born and raised here in Albuquerque and attended Valley High School. He was predeceased by his mother, Genevieve Fisher of Albuquerque and is survived by daughters, Katie, 19, and Megan, 8; father, Norman; stepfather, Bill; four brothers; four sisters; and many family members who are grieving but who know Dirk is in a better place by far. Dirk served for nine years in the USAF as an electronics technician. He attended Fruit Ave. Baptist Church, Shepherd of the Valley, and most recently, La Mesa Presbyterian Church. He had an extraordinary singing voice that he used to praise God. Dirk loved his family and bragged often on his daughters. He was blessedly assured that God loved him and died for him. Services will be held Sunday, December 29, 2002, 3:00 p.m. at La Mesa Presbyterian Church, 7401 Copper NE. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Rehabilitation Services Veterans Programs, 6101 Central NE, Albuquerque, NM 87108.
