Kevin William Smith

Kevin William Smith, age 71 of Hudson, left us peacefully on August 5, 2025.

He found joy in many passions, from woodworking and cooking Prime Rib and lobster to riding his motorcycle on open roads. Kevin cherished the moments spent fishing with his family and hunting with his son-in-law. His adventures included vacations in Cancun. Kevin will be deeply missed by his wife, Sharon, daughter Vanessa, his son-in-law Jesse Bester, granddaughter Finnley Bester, sister Bonnie, niece Christy, and great-nephew Stephen. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Amanda. Kevin’s faithful companion, his dog Zola, was always by his side, sharing in both the quiet moments and the joyful celebrations of life. 

A visitation will take place 1-2 PM Friday August 8 at O'Connell Funeral Home, 520 S. 11th St. Hudson.
