Remembering the Smith-Carpenter Family

Michael & Pamela Smith, their granddaughter Blake, and her father Brian Carpenter tragically lost their lives in the July 2025 Kerrville, TX flood.

 

We’re raising funds to honor their legacy:

•  80% will go toward building 2 memorial water wells in their names.

•  20% will support their surviving family—two daughters (Madeline & Mallory) and a grandson (Dalton)—who were hospitalized with serious injuries.

Please help us honor their memory and support those left behind.

🙏 How You Can Give

Your gift—no matter the size—will go directly toward the drilling and development of these two Memorial Wells. Michael’s past contributions, often matched by Shell Oil Company where he retired after a distinguished career, catalyzed a remarkable impact. Let’s honor that legacy with one final matching: grief met with grace.
