CONRAD BURKHALTER SMITH
Nashville, TN -- Heaven gained an angel today. Conrad Burkhalter Smith, our dear
beloved infant son, died in his sleep on Saturday, March 22, 2014. Conrad was
born on April 19, 2013. He was perfect. A beautiful boy, full of playful
mischief and vigor. We, and all of his family and loved ones, are heartbroken.
But we know that he is banging on guitars in heaven while laughing and smiling
at his big sister's antics. The family will receive visitors on Monday, March
24, 2014 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Christ the King Catholic Church. The
family will also receive visitors on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 from 10:30 a.m.
until 11:30 a.m. at Christ the King Catholic Church in advance of the funeral
mass that will take place on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. A private
graveside burial will follow. In lieu of flowers, we respectfully request that
those so inclined donate to the Conrad Burkhalter Smith Memorial Scholarship
Fund, which will support a student from Augusta County, Virginia attending
Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. Please send any donations
to: Conrad Burkhalter Smith Memorial Scholarship Fund, c/o Bradley Arant Boult
Cummings LLP, 1600 Division Street Suite 700, Nashville, TN 37203. But, most
importantly, we ask for your prayers. Conrad's family includes his mother
and father, Eileen Burkhalter Smith and Eric Smith, his big sister, Louisa, his
maternal grandparents, Dr. Terry and Peggy Burkhalter, and his paternal
grandparents, Albert and Shirley Smith. Conrad is also watching over his Aunt
Michelle Smith, Cousins Jack Smith and Eleanor Smith, Aunt Stephanie Smith,
Uncle Stephen Bolton, Cousins Ian Bolton and Caroline Bolton, Uncle Jeffrey
Burkhalter, Aunt Sara Burkhalter, Cousin Reece Burkhalter, Uncle Stuart
Burkhalter, Aunt Julie Burkhalter, Cousin Helen Burkhalter, Aunt Emily
Burkhalter, and many other second cousins and loved ones who Conrad will enjoy
watching and helping from his perch above while he meets all of his previously
deceased family members, including but most certainly not limited to, his
Great-Grandfather Elmer Shifflette and Great-Uncle William H. Canon, both of
whom are having a big time with their newest pal. There are no easy answers.
Life is not fair. There is no scoring official keeping track of the equities. At
least not here on Earth. But we shall keep our chins up and march on with Conrad
embedded in our hearts, with the certain knowledge that Conrad was simply too
good for this world and his big sister will have the best guardian angel that
anyone could ever want.

the team of Vonnie and Tommy managed the Rock Island Golf Course until 1972.
They moved to Lewiston, ID to manage Lewiston Municipal Golf Course and the

their ventures, always having fun in the process. Mom and Dad semi-retired in
Wenatchee in 1988, but still traveled to Borrego Springs, CA in the winter,
working just to keep busy, at Di Anza Golf and Country Club while Dad gave golf
lessons. Mom was a bundle of energy all her life with a quick sense of humor and
