Denzel Wayne Smith, age 15, “Bakite o’ow Migiziwan” meaning “Strikes The Eagle” of Bemidji, MN journeyed to the spirit world on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, from the Sanford’s Children’s Hospital in Fargo, ND. Denzel was born in Bemidji, MN, on April 26, 2007, the son of Regina (Tucker) and Dennis Smith, Sr.
Denzel loved going on family vacations, playing Fortnite, spending time with his brothers and sisters, and hanging out with friends. He enjoyed riding his bike, playing basketball, family cookouts and making s’mores. Denzel had a big, beautiful smile and the cutest dimples. He was an adventurous, daredevil young man. “He wasn’t the kid that ran up and hugged you when you entered the room, he was the kid whose eyes lit up and you could see it in face that he was excited you were there.” Denzel will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Those greeting Denzel in the spirit world are his mother, Regina Smith; grandma, Mary Jo Smith; grandpas, Clyde Monroe and Eli Hunt; uncle, Russell Tucker; cousin, Vanessa Smith; and numerous great aunts, uncles and other family members.
