Kirby Todd Smith, 56, of San Antonio, died Saturday September 15, 2018. He was born on March 17, 1962, in Beaumont, Texas, to Phyllis and Carl Lane Smith. Kirby graduated from Forest Park High School in 1980 and received his Bachelors of Business Administration from Lamar University in 1984.
As a young child, Kirby became involved in various sports and quickly rose to lead his peers as president of his class and several different scholastic clubs and organizations. Kirby contributed a significant amount of time, along with his two older brothers, father and mother, to the Boy Scouts of America. He received his Eagle Scout Award in 1976 and was a brotherhood member in the Order of the Arrow. Kirby was a member of the Texas Epsilon chapter of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. He was a collegiate track athlete and cheerleader at Lamar University.
After graduation, Kirby moved to Austin, Texas, where he married Kimberly Corley. Together they have three children: Travis Colton Smith, Kylie Alexis Smith and Austin Parker Smith. Kirby had a 27-year career in the medical services industry in various leadership roles. He was respected by his peers and considered a friend by many. Kirby had many hobbies and loved the great outdoors. You would often find him in the deer stand, hiking his favorite hill country trails with his dogs, Noel and Denali, or behind the lens of a camera. He was best known for his love of chocolate chip cookies and peanut M&M’s. If he wasn’t off-roading in his Dodge Charger, or burning something in the kitchen, he was cheering on his children. Kirby’s never-ending love and undying devotion to his children defined him. He made countless sacrifices to ensure they were given the best life possible.
