Brittany Nicole Socash was a dear friend whose warmth, laughter, and kind heart touched everyone she met. Tragically, she passed away in 2021 due to a motor vehicle accident, but her memory continues to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Brittany had a way of making people feel special, and her vibrant spirit could brighten even the darkest days. On this special day, we honor her life and the impact she had on all of us, keeping her close in our hearts as we celebrate love and friendship.
Tylers grandfather, Thomas Smeal, was an incredible man who left a lasting mark on my life. He passed away in 2020, but his lessons and love remain with me every day. He taught me so much, from working on small engines to the joys of gardening, always sharing his wisdom with a good laugh along the way.
I’ll always cherish the memories of being his eyes when he couldn’t see well and the fun of sneaking cookies with him when no one was looking. He had a way of making every moment special, and his love and humor made life brighter. Today, as I celebrate this new chapter, I carry his memory in my heart, knowing he’s watching over us with a smile.
Keegan’s grandfather, Donald, passed away in October of 2022. He was a mentor to him. He also was a man of few words. One of his favorite memories was when his grandfather would take him for rides on the John Deere 4030 tractor. He & Norma Rowland have shown love of over 60 years. They have many kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and even great-great grandkids. Donald worked on his dairy farm many years until it perished in a fire. He has shown Keegan what hard work and dedication is and to always be an honest man.
Jerry was Keegan's uncle. He recently unexpectedly passed away early December 2024. Keegan and his siblings have so many fond memories together with him. He would always be there during their summers off, just hanging out, working on things down at their fathers shop at the time. Jerry was a man who lived life to the fullest, always partying hard no matter what time of day. So many stories. He left an imprint not just on Keegan's life but everyone who was around him. Even though he may not be there in person, he will be there in spirit.
There are so many others to mention. There will be a table dedicated to those who we lost.
