Kayson Smith Obituary (2008 - 2018)

Kayson Shane Smith “Mommy’s Boy and Daddy’s Buddy” Up in a tree, atop the dugout, in the water, riding his bike or free ranging at the ballpark, this is where you would find our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, Kayson. From dead snakes in his back pack to fake mustaches at school, he had the pranks in his pocket ready to fool. Kayson Shane Smith was born March 4, 2008 to Marcus Smith and Kylie Hartman in Tooele, Utah. He passed away unexpectedly doing something that he loved on July 4, 2018.
