Ed Smith - Sales Manager  [1959-2021]

As Sales Manager, many SkillTRAN customers have met Ed in person at one of many conferences or on the phone. He was always congenial and helpful, and a true friend to many. He was my best friend. It has been painful to him and to his family to watch his deterioration during the last year as he valiantly battled a brain tumor that few survive. Yet through it all, he was at peace with what was happening, as he knew that our journey here on earth is just temporary. His deep faith in our Lord Jesus Christ was lived every day in how he prayed and how he lived. He was a personal spiritual rock for me in my life's journey. When you have confidence in the outcome of life, there is nothing to fear. He shared his faith with others, teaching and leading other men to a stronger spiritual life, particularly married men, in a local program called "CTL - Chosen to Lead". He loved to fish and hunt, experience outdoor adventures, and be a strong leader and great example to his family and 11 grandchildren. I miss him dearly. But he set such a strong example for his family and friends, I know that they will continue to carry on faithfully in the path he set as he followed his life to our Savior.

With great love and many fun memories ...
