Rielly Jay Smith

Rielly Jay Smith, a vibrant and beloved 16-year-old, left us far too soon on July 25, 2025, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, following a tragic ATV accident. Born on December 20, 2008, in Spokane, Washington, Rielly filled every room with his infectious joy and boundless energy, leaving a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.

Rielly was a smart and loving soul who cared deeply for those around him. His love for soccer brought him to the fields of Cheyenne, where he played with passion and camaraderie, always lifting his teammates with his bright smile. When he wasn’t scoring goals, Rielly could be found hanging out with his friends, sharing laughs, or trying his hand at pickleball, a new hobby that showcased his playful, adventurous side. Known for his happy-go-lucky spirit, Rielly’s ability to make people smile and laugh was his gift to the world, a light that will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew him.

Rielly was predeceased by his Great-Grandma and Grandpa Lamb, Grandma Michelle, Great-Grandpa Bill, and Great-Grandma and Grandpa Smith, who surely welcomed him with open arms. He is survived by his devoted parents, Kazia and Brandon Smith, and his cherished sister, Kinzlee, who was his partner in countless adventures. Rielly also leaves behind a large and loving family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, all of whom will carry his memory forward with love and pride.

A celebration of Rielly’s life will be held on August 9, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at Beacon Hill Cheyenne, located at 3411 Cleveland Ave, Cheyenne, WY. The event is open to everyone who wishes to honor Rielly’s memory and share in the love he inspired. A GoFundMe has been established to support Rielly’s family with medical expenses and other needs: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-rielly-and-his-family.

Rielly’s life, though brief, was a testament to the power of joy, kindness, and connection. His laughter will echo in the hearts of his family and friends forever. Rest in peace, sweet boy.
