In Loving Memory of Bowie Benjamin Smith

On January 19, 2023, Emily and Max Smith welcomed their third beautiful child into this world, Bowie Benjamin Smith. The Smith family is suffering the significant loss of their six-week-old Bowie after he unexpectedly passed away on March 6, 2023.

As a lifelong friend of Emily’s, I made a Fund to help this young family navigate what is presented as they lay their son to rest. Although we cannot help with the unimaginable pain Emily and Max feel, I created this space for loved ones to share. All donations will go directly to Emily and Max Smith.

Bowie is survived by his parents; brother, Beckham; sister, Saylor; grandparents, Ronnie and Martha Smith of Defuniak Springs, Florida, Susan Burns of West Memphis, Arkansas, and Paul Burns of Collierville, Tennessee; aunts and uncles, Jace and Jamie Smith of Cleveland, Mississippi, Eli Smith of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, Ashley Burns of Collierville, Tennessee, Michael Burns of West Memphis, Arkansas, and Douglas Burns of Marion, Arkansas; cousins, Margaret Whitley Smith and Thomas Smith of Cleveland, Mississippi; and great-grandparents, Patricia Smith of Freeport, Florida, Margaret Ross of Oakland, Mississippi, Mary and Douglas Sall of Yankton, South Dakota, and Louise Burns of Chamberlain, South Dakota.
