Chad Jay Smith 46 Of Glasgow Montana

July 17, 1971 — March 27, 2018

Chad J. Smith, 46, of Glasgow, Montana passed at his home March 27, 2018.

Chad was born July 17, 1971 in Kellogg, Idaho to Pete Smith and Cherlyen McLaurin. Chad attended school in Nashua, Fort Peck, and Glasgow; ending back in Nashua for his high school years.  He left school before graduating to move to Idaho and stay with his father.

He had a seamless rain gutter business in Spokane with his brother, Dwayne for several years. He left Spokane and took up trucking out of Great Falls and was able to see much of the United States.  After ten years of traveling he decided to be with his family in Glasgow. He worked at the Oasis as a bartender, he worked on vehicles and then for the Valley Transit.

He loved bike racing, his boat, walleye fishing, snowmobiling and working on his and others trucks. He loved working wood. He loved his garden, watching it grow and harvesting it and went as far as to learn canning.  Being self-taught, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. He totally enjoyed hanging out with Levi and James in anything he did.  His smile could light up a room.

Chad is preceded in death by a brother, Todd Smith; uncles, Gary Schroeder and Terry Metvedt; aunt, Carol DuBeau; grandmother, Ovidia Metvedt; and numerous great-aunts and uncles.

He is survived by his mother, Cherylen McLaurin of Glasgow, Montana; father, Peter Smith of Rathdrum, Idaho; brothers, Dwayne (Tami) Smith, Levi McLaurin, and James McLaurin; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be 1:00 p.m., Thursday, April 5, 2018 at Bell Mortuary, with Pastor Bonnie Novak officiating. Burial will be at a later date in the Nashua Cemetery.  Condolences can be left at bellmortuarymontana.com.
