Dan Lamont Smith Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Feb. 10, 2015 at 2:00 AM Posted Feb. 10, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News Dan Smith, 70, passed away the evening of February 6, 2015 at his home in Medford, Ore. where he spent his final days surrounded by family and friends. Born to Buzz and Nellie Mae Smith, Dan was raised on a ranch in Keno, Ore. where he developed a lifelong love of the outdoors. He graduated from Henley High School in 1962. Dan married Vicki Shults in 1964 and moved to Ashland, Ore. where they raised their two daughters, Jennifer and Emilie. Dan worked for the City of Ashland and Ashland Lumber Yard before starting his career with Pacific Power and Light, where he became a heavy equipment operator, a job that he loved. Dan worked much of his career in southern Oregon and northern California and developed a strong connection and love for the Klamath River canyon. Dan's friends and family knew Dan to be humble, generous, quick with a laugh, and neat as a pin. He enjoyed working, fishing, traveling, and visiting with family and friends. Dan is survived by his daughters, Jennifer Smith of Ashland and Emilie and Shane Gledhill of White City, Ore.; granddaughter, Kaitlin Gledhill; sister, Ella Mae Ridgeway of Sacramento, Calif.; and brother, Ernie and Judy Smith of Keno, Ore.
