Colin Smith, a beloved son, brother, father, and friend, passed away tragically on May 30, 2026, at the age of 36. Born on February 22, 1990, in the vibrant city of Kingston, Jamaica, Colin's life was a testament to the warmth and zest for life characteristic of his birthplace. His sudden departure due to an automobile accident is a profound loss deeply felt by all who knew him. Colin was the cherished son of Donna and Michael Smith, who instilled in him values of kindness, integrity, and resilience. These values shone brightly throughout his life and were especially evident in the way he embraced his role as a father to his daughter, Kai. His love for Kai was boundless and unwavering, and he was known for being a great father who always prioritized her well-being and happiness above all else. As a young man, Colin attended AC Reynolds High School, where he made lifelong friends and cultivated a love for learning. His passion for cars and anything on wheels was apparent from a young age, and it was a love that followed him throughout his life. He could often be found tinkering in the garage, his hands busy, his mind at ease, as he worked on the machines that fascinated him so. Professionally, Colin dedicated himself to his work as a welder for the city of Vero Beach. His colleagues knew him as a skilled craftsman whose work ethic and camaraderie made every workday brighter. Colin's contributions to the city were both practical and profound, as he brought his meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication to every project he undertook. Colin's personality was magnetic; he was the type of individual who left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Known for always being a good influence on those around him, he was a source of inspiration and guidance, offering wisdom and support to friends and family alike. His laughter was infectious, and his spirit unyielding, qualities that brought joy and comfort to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. In addition to his daughter Kai, Colin is survived by his devoted brother, Corey, with whom he shared an unbreakable bond. Together, they created countless cherished memories, and Corey will forever hold dear the adventures and moments they shared. Colin's life will be honored in a private ceremony, reflecting his family's wish for an intimate gathering to celebrate his remarkable journey and the indelible mark he left on their hearts. While Colin's time with us was far too short, his legacy of love, kindness, and passion will endure in the lives of those he touched. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten, as his spirit lives on in the memories and stories we hold dear. May he rest in peace, forever remembered and forever loved.
