Passed away on Sunday, October 2, 2005 at 3:00 PM.  He joined his Grandma Dorothy Smith in heaven on her birthday.
     You left us so peacefully Adam and so unexpectedly, that's why I am sure you are in heaven with the Lord, doing the very special things that He needed you for.  I hope you know we did the best we could for you baby.   This never should have happened but somehow we have to learn to accept the Lord's will.  Stay close to us and help us through the darkest days, months and years of our lives Adam. Dad and I will grieve for you until we meet again in heaven. 

Adam Joseph Smith
Adam Joseph Smith passed peacefully into God\'s hands October 2, 2005, surrounded by loving family and friends. Adam is survived by parents Fred and Jane Smith, sister Rachel Natoli, brother-in-law Joseph Natoli, grand parents Trudy and Phillip Levitan and Fred Smith Sr. of Floral Park NY. He was the adoring uncle of Madison, Aidan and Regan Natoli, the lights of his life. He leaves behind many loving relatives and friends. Born August 19, 1969 in Passaic NJ, then moved to Rosedale, NY, and to Phoenix in 1978. He graduated from Brophy Prep in 1987 and went on to earn degrees in Immunology and Microbiology at The U of A. A lover of music and collector of comic books, Adam was known for his quick humor and tireless creativity, a true artist. He brought joy to so many and will be missed more than words can express. Adam wouldn\'t want his loved ones to cry but to smile at his memory and celebrate his life. He would want us to follow his motto: "Work like you don\'t need money, Love like you\'ve never been hurt, And dance like no one\'s watching."
