SMITH, Dennis Scott – June 7, 1960 – June 4, 2022

Dennis was born and raised in Grand Blanc, Michigan and was able to retire with the love of his life in Gladwin, Michigan on Wixon Lake!

He is survived by his wife, Bethany Jo Smith, after spending 29 years together. They traveled the world and enjoyed many adventures from Sangria in Spain, gem mining in the mountains, or art walks in Paris.

Dennis had a passion for traveling and he and Bethany wanted to experience the world together. Dennis spent much of his professional life as a first responder. He was a police officer, volunteer firefighter, fire instructor at Mott, and was the first Fire Chief for Grand Blanc City Fire Department. He dedicated his life to serving the public and was proud of his son and grandson that followed in his call for duty.

Dennis was a man that could be counted on for help if needed, a wise word, or a perfect timed comment.

He enjoyed his grandchildren and loved spending time with all of them whether it be for a game, concert, or celebration. He didn’t miss a football or basketball game and loved watching the game with family including snacks. It was a tradition for him and his grandson to sing the fight song with any touchdown.

He is survived by his son, Brandon Smith;

daughters, Amy Harding, Heather Smith and Stefanie Smith;

grandchildren, Cameron, Ian, Isabella, Noah, Lawrence, Rebecca, Lucy and Aiden.

He also leaves behind siblings, Larry (Linda) Smith and Kenneth (Tiffany) Belford. Spousal parents, Robert (Gloria) Belford.

He follows in death his parents, Frank (Loraine) Smith and brother, Michael Smith.

Memorial visitation will be held at 12 p.m. and Memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 11, 2022 at the Swartz Funeral Home, 1225 West Hill Road.
