| Published by Today's News-Herald on Mar. 18, 2026 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - (May 16, 1952 - March 4, 2026) Mychael Smith, born on May 16, 1952, was a man of many talents and passions, embodying the essence of a life well lived. His creativity knew no bounds, evident in his accomplished career as a musician and his knack for fixing anything that came his way. From his birthplace in San Bernardino, California, to his later residences in Orange County, Las Vegas, and eventually settling in Lake Havasu, Mychael's journey was as diverse and vibrant as the man himself. As a Teamster, he mastered the art of the deal, purchasing items, restoring them with his gifted hands, and finding them new homes, much like his love for classic cars and motorcycles. In the words of Albert Einstein, "Creativity is intelligence having fun," and Mychael was the epitome of this. His love for music was as infectious as his love for life, an interest he shared with his beloved wife, Theresa (Terri). Together, they created a harmonious symphony that reverberated in the hearts of all who knew them. Above all else, Mychael was a devoted family man. His love for his children, Erinn Cano and Clayton Smith, and his adoration for his three grandchildren, were the melodies that truly defined him. A man of simple pleasures, Mychael found joy in watching Westerns and spending quality time with his family. He was a loving brother to James Smith and sister Cyndie Sterner, their bond unbroken by time or distance. He now joins his parents, Ruth and Herman Smith, in the grand orchestra of eternity. Let's celebrate his life, his talents, and the love he shared with us all. After all, as Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." And Mychael, with his talent, creativity, and love, made us all feel extraordinarily special. |
