Smith was raised by his grandparents in Carney. The family moved to Edmond a year ago, and Smith attended Edmond Santa Fe as a freshman. He transferred to Edmond North before this school year.

The Edmond North football booster club set up a fund to help the family with burial costs at the Citizens Bank branch on Coffee Creek Road.

“That really is their most immediate need,” Parks said. “We’ve had a tremendous outpouring of support.”

The district will hold a moment of silence for Smith before Thursday night’s U.S. Grant-Edmond Santa Fe football game at Wantland Stadium.

There will also be a moment of silence before Edmond North’s game against Westmoore on Friday at Moore Stadium.

“He was a young boy that was just trying to enjoy life,” Lively said.
