Patrick Michael Smith

Patrick (Pat) M. Smith, age 79, of Casper, WY passed away on September 15, 2025 at home in Casper.

He was born in Yuma, AZ to Wallace G. and Ruth C. Smith on August 16, 1946. The family moved to Tucson, AZ when he was a young child and he grew up there. He graduated from Amphitheater High School in 1964, then served in the Army including tours in Korea and Vietnam. He worked as a diesel mechanic at Wyoming Machinery Co. for 32 years. Pat was everyone’s favorite uncle because he was always playing with pyrotechnics and creating something new. He enjoyed making things go “boom”. He also loved to be outdoors, and enjoyed riding motorcycles, reading, shooting sports, gold panning, and loved his dogs.
