Jedediah Andrew Smith “Jed” was called home to Valhalla on February 23,2022. He entered into rest at his home in Watford City, ND.

He was originally from Abbeville, SC; Jed was born at Abbeville County Memorial Hospital on May 15, 1991 to Joseph Andrew Smith and Theresa Gale Mabry. He graduated from Abbeville High School in 2009. He then went onto become a Welder/Fitter/Fabricator until 2011 when nature called. He travelled to Montana and became a certified Pack and Guide from Elm Guide School. He was then offered a job with Black Otter Guide Service and continued to live and work in Montana until his hometown beckoned him once again in 2012.

Jed returned to Welding/Fabricating in his hometown in hopes of saving money until he could move to Alaska to work as an outfitter. In 2014, Jed once again, changed professions when an opportunity arose in the Bakken of ND. His love and passion for the oilfield never went unnoticed and only became stronger as his family began to grow.

His legacy will always live on from ND to SC.
