ALLAN KEITH SMITH - A FRIEND KILLED IN IRAQ

Allan was a childhood friend, he loved people and believed in the best of everyone. He was a jokster and a prankster and his devilish smile could truly light up a room. He went to Iraq to find a better opportunity for his family's future, albeit, he is the one that found his final reward. Truly, only the good die young, please say a prayer for Allan if you pray, if you don't maybe offer a good thought for a decent human being who is no longer among us...

There are also links for kind words in the guest book, flowers and charites. I'm certain the family would appreciate all gestures on Allan's behalf...

Here is a link to the news story you referenced that mentioned Allan Smith's death (click here).

I'm guessing that the obituary itself probably won't run for a day or two.

Prayers for your friend, his family, you and his other friends.

My condolences to the family. My prayers for the family.

I lack the skills of poetry to express my gratitude to one who loved his country, his fellow Americans and his Brothers in Arms so much that he gave his "last full measure of devotion"

I celebrate that Allan was, his loss will be deeply felt.

Words at this time seem inadequate. Not only is this a great loss for Allan's family and friends, but for our nation. Each one of these brave soldiers represents what makes this nation great and keeps us free. Allan joins millions of brave American heroes in God's kingdom.

May God welcome this young man with open arms. May He comfort Allan's family and friends and give them peace, knowing that Allan has gone to be with the Lord. May God watch over and protect all of our people who are in harm's way, in Jesus' name.
