John Smith Fundraiser Events
John Edward Smith, age 45, passed away
at the Kline Hospice House early
Wednesday morning, May 22, 2013 after
more than two years battling incurable
brain cancer.
He leaves behind his loving wife
Sabrina, and their three beautiful
children: Aiden 7, Cecilia 4, and Neil
2, as well as his devoted parents Bob
and Tracey Smith. His Aunt Chris,
cousins Kelly and Carlee, as well as his
Uncle Rob and countless friends and
athletes around the world will also hold
him in their hearts.
John was inducted into the local Alvin
G. Quinn Frederick County Sports Hall of
Fame in 2008. His passionate career as a
diver, trampolinist, coach, and
motivational speaker spanned more than
25 years, as he dedicated his life to
inspiring everyone he met. A superhero
to his wife and children, the founder of
the local Frederick Area Divers (or
FAD), John was a man who always had a
laugh, a story, who sought to "Explore
and Inspire", and who will live forever
in the hearts of many.
There will not be a funeral, but a two
part celebration of his life at the
Universalist Unitarian Church of
Frederick, 4880 Elmer Derr Road starting
on Saturday, June 1 at 4:00 p.m. This
day will have time for family and
friends to share stories and say a
somewhat formal goodbye. The next day,
Sunday June 2, long-time friends of the
Smith's will be putting on a fund
raising show at 12:30 called "Mutts Gone
Nuts", allowing those who knew and loved
John the chance to laugh together as he
would have wanted.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be
made either to the UUCF where John and
Sabrina found a loving extended family
over the past several years, or to the
Patty Pollatos Fund in his name.

PPF is thrilled to announce that Rodney
Atkins will headline the
2013 FUNomenon at the Frederick Fairgrounds on Saturday, August
24th.
The Tennessee-born
country music star has had 6 #1 hits from his first 3 albums,
from "Watching You" and "These Are My People" to his most recent
smashes, "Take A Back Road," and "Farmer's Daughter" (which
quickly skyrocketed to platinum), and he's sold over 4 million
singles in the past 5 years alone. And who can forget the
platinum hit “If You’re Going Through Hell” (which was 2006's
most-played song of the year)!
Visit Rodney Radio at
www.rodneyatkins.com
to hear all these chart-toppers and more!
