David Madison Smith

DAVID MADISON SMITH Long time Arroyo Seco resident David Madison Smith went with the angels early Christmas morning while sleeping peacefully on December 25, 2013. David was born in Los Angeles April 14, 1950. David was survived by his loving wife, Liza Saint George, preceded in death by mother Bebe Blake, survived by his father and step mother Allen and Betti Smith of California, brother Blake Smith of Utah and sisters Samantha Betten and Suzanna Sevilla of California, along with a world filled with friends and loved ones. David held life in high regard and never missed an opportunity for adventure. He was able to combine his love of the outdoors with a career and worked for years in the fishing industry in Alaska. When not working David enjoyed, skiing, surfing, biking, swimming, hiking and making memories with friends and family. David had great love of music and spent many hours planning for and attending countless concerts and music events. With the help of his dear friends he was able to amass a music collection that is almost certainly second to none. Upon retirement from fishing David cheerfully volunteered for the Taos Library where he spent many hours helping the community. He will be greatly missed and forever remembered as a warm and loving soul. In Davids own words may we always remember to Dig Life!
