Terry L. Smit March 15, 1947 - July 20, 2020 On Monday morning, July 20, 2020, Terry met Jesus face to face. Terry, his brother, Keith Smit, and his cousin, Dan Jager, were owners of Peaceful Road Farms and Hopkins Elevator. Terry was a trusted animal nutritionist. In 2013, the sons of the partners, Paul Smit, Andy Smit, Dave Smit, John Smit, Nate Jager and Eric Jager took over the management of the farm and elevator, but the original partners still had an active role in both operations. Music was a great joy in Terry's life. In 2001, he built The Big Rock Music Barn, which has been a blessing to many. Terry is survived by his wife, Jeanne; children, Amy Smit (daughter-in-law), Becky (Stan) VanderPol, Andy (Lisa) Smit and Emily (Kevin) Martin; siblings, Kathy (Ken) Klaasen, Sara Post, Keith (Deb) Smit, Julie (Stan) Alphenaar and Trudy (Phil) Eshuis; grandchildren, Zachary (Brittany) Smit, Devin Smit, Olivia Smit, Elaina Smit, Grace (Chan) Kim, Lucy (Reuben) Veen, Jonah Vander Pol, Silas Vander Pol, McKenna Black, Ethan Black, Ericka Black, Luke Martin, Blake Martin and Vivian Martin; great-grandchildren, Paul Smit, Ivy Smit, Thatcher Smit and Elias Kim. He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Elleen Smit; son, Paul Smit; grandson, Dillon Black; and brother-in-law, Russ Post.
