Denvyre Haylee Smith Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Denvyre Haylee Smith, beloved daughter, sister, and friend to all passed away on July 21, 2020 after a long and courageous battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Denvyre is survived by her mother, Lisa, brother Dane (Lesley), and sister Devynne (Jake). We knew she was special from the moment she entered this world on October 6, 1994. Despite the challenges she faced from birth, she was one of the strongest people you’d ever meet and always had the most contagious smile filled with joy and just a little bit of mischief. Anyone that came across her, fell in love with her instantly. She was a bona fide flirt, fearless thrill seeker, effortless comedian, and party animal. She loved roller coasters, going for long rides in the car, and dancing to live music. She could rarely be seen out and about without a sticker book, stuffed animal, or her giant rainbow slinky - sometimes her hands were full with all three. Growing up, she loved watching her older siblings play sports until she discovered her own love for playing soccer and riding horses. She was an avid “people watcher” and enjoyed saying ‘Hi’ and ‘Bye’ to her new friends she made everywhere she went. A local celebrity of sorts, she was more recognized by random people everywhere than all of her family members combined. She loved to open presents - though she did not necessarily care about what was in the wrapping - so she opened everyone’s presents for them every Christmas and birthday. She loved to help with everyday tasks like unloading the dishwasher and putting papers in the shredder and had a part-time job clearing tables at Cubby’s restaurant that she looked forward to every week. Though we are heartbroken that she is no longer with us, we find solace in the fact that she is free and no longer in pain. She fought a good fight and overcame many obstacles in her short life but it was time for her to rest. We would like to thank all of the hospice nurses and caretakers and the staff and other clients from Imber Services. She was brought so much joy being a part of Imber and the community they shared, and for that we are forever grateful. Due to Covid-19, only a graveside service will be held on Tuesday, July 28th, 2020 at Elysian Burial Gardens (1075 E 4580 S, Millcreek, UT 84117). Social distancing practices and masks will be required.
