Remembering Bubba Smith '01

Eaglebrook is saddened to report the sudden death of Jonathan "Bubba" Smith ’01 on July 13. After Eaglebrook, Bubba attended Tabor Academy. He graduated in May 2008 from Trinity College with a BA in Economics, and was enrolled at Western New England College in his hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts, where he hoped to receive his MBA. Bubba’s obituary says the following, “An avid sports fan, Jonathan played hockey and lacrosse throughout his youth and was a proud member of the Springfield Jr. Pics. A young man of infinite character, "Bubba" was a team-builder who delighted in camaraderie of team and classmates. Bubba delighted in the ocean and beach, most especially Martha's Vineyard, time with his family, and his fraternity brothers from Psi Upsilon. He will be sorely missed by his family and myriad of friends, who will forever be inspired by his genuine warmth, uplifting humor, insight, and love.” We send our deepest condolences to Bubba’s family.
