David Cruickshank-Smiscon

July 14, 1965 - January 22, 2017

The creator has called David Cruickshank Smiscon home to be with his loved ones that are waiting for him. He was raised in Shelton with the Cruickshank family, he loved to race motor cross and loved to fix his motorcycles since he was young. He came home in 1994 to live with his father, Walter Smiscon and Mother, Elaine Frank Smiscon where he learned the longhouse ways. He always did his duty as a meat cutter and loved to cook meat outside of the churches. He traveled to places to help his people. He left behind his mother, Elaine; a son, Patrick Braese; two brothers, Harry Smiskin, Walter Smiscon Jr.; four sisters, Louise Price, Lorry Thacker, Matilda Smiskin and Mary Jane Nelson who will miss him greatly and many nieces, nephews and grandchildren and others he would cut meat with. He will always love his people near and far. He loved playing pool in Wapato during the jackpots, so with these words we let him go home to his creator. Dressing services will be at 10AM Tuesday January 24, 2017 at the Toppenish Longhouse with overnight services to follow. Interment will be at the Methodist Cemetery in White Swan on Wednesday with a procession leaving the longhouse at 8AM. Colonial Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
