Claude Coberly Smith

We are sad to announce the passing of Claude C. Smith, “Old Man”.  He passed away on September 9, 2023, at the age of 60, after a courageous battle with cancer surrounded by his family. He was born on November 4, 1962, in Ronan, Montana to Gerald and Lorelie (Pollard) Smith.

Claude loved his entire family with all his heart. His legacy will live on through his boys and his grandchildren. Claude’s best accomplishment in life was his sons, whom he enjoyed many adventures with. Claude loved to hunt and fish, camp, and sit around the campfire telling stories. We will miss him dearly.

He is preceded in death by his father Gerald and his sister-in-law Pam.

He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Cindy and their children, Claude “Daniel” and Joshua (Jeanna) and their four grandchildren, Brooklyn, Danaley, Boston, and Bentley; his siblings, Gerald, Greg (Kim), Debbie (Dana) Thingelstad, Steve (Leslie), Lana (Bill) Bartel, Don (Diane), as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
