Dear Lesley, Melissa and all the family, we are so sorry for your loss and find it hard to believe Ashley is no longer with us. We've all had so many great times together over the years, from pool and Bbq's parties to skiing trips, memories we will never forget.

To my best mate Ashley. Shown the Red card far too early in this life. Enjoy the Aftermatch. You'll be missed in Dunedin this weekend.
I'll really miss you Ash.

Thinking of you and hoping the good memories of Ashley can help you through this sad time.

SMEITH, Ashley Wayne — It is with much sadness that we farewell a loyal caretaker, friend, and colleague from Ladbrooks School. Ashley was a much loved and respected man who always fulfilled the role of keeping our school clean, comfortable and safe. He was cheerful and no task was too difficult or too much to ask of him. He was a capable handyman and always engaged and laughed with children, staff and parents while going about his daily routine. His untimely departure from this life has devastated all of us and left a large hole in the heart of our school community. Our deepest sympathy is extended to Lesley, Melissa, Mike and other members of Ashley’s family, you are in our thoughts.
