May 23, 1994 – September 7, 2022
With heavy hearts, we say a final goodbye to our beloved Cody Shane Smith with his sudden passing on September 7, 2022. Cody was born on May 23, 1994, to parents Tammy Howard and Ralph Smith in Calgary, Alberta.
From a young age, Cody was an active boy who enjoyed outrunning his teammates both on and off the soccer pitch. His love of the outdoors and nature became his passion. He hiked many miles of trails in the nearby Rocky Mountains and collected leaves and twigs as reminders of his day’s journey.
During his school years, he was known as “Cassy” short for Casanova because he loved chasing the girls around! He also was a star football player, excelled at track and field and was an all-round awarded athlete.
You could always have an educated discussion with him about the merits of protein shakes and working out at the gym. He recently took a love of gardening and would spend hours planting seeds and poking around the flower beds with the bees.
He loved all animals but cats were always his favourite. His pet cat, Luna, gave him unconditional love and comfort. She is now in the loving hands of Cody’s sister, Courtney.
Cody was predeceased by his maternal grandfather, David Hurst, paternal grandmother, Judy Smith and paternal grandfather, Grant Smith. He is survived by his mother, Tammy Howard and father, Ralph Smith (Kelly Pagenkopf, Ashley and Brandon), his sister Courtney Smith (Oscar Wronski-Luna(cat)) and his grandmothers Patricia Hurst and Paula Smith. Also, his aunty Shauna Baty (Tina Tse and cousin Jordan) aunty Lisa Parsons (Steve Parsons-cousins Ariele, Chad and Adam), Nancy Hurst (cousins Summer and Senna) and aunty Delayna Martin.
A Celebration of Cody’s Life will be held on Friday, September 16, 2022 at 3:00 pm at the Springbank Heritage Club (
