The site was last updated a year and half ago. Is something happening now?

This is a website where more people might care about the sad news I have to report. A dear friend and former colleague, Kevin Montgomery Smith, died last nite from complications related to a series of very sudden heart problems.

Kevin was here at Christmas with his wife Kellie and their children visiting family. We bumped into them by pure happenstance over at the Finn Inn in Graffton.

Kevin worked on neighborhood marketing for the city back in the mid-90s, was involved in the early efforts to develop the CIN, moved on and worked for the Downtown Partnership, then followed former Partnership Director, Kim Kimbrough, in a move to the west coast where Kevin worked for an organization known as Portland Progress.

Kevin was a real talent. His passing comes as a total shock. Kevin had lots of friends here in St. Louis. His family is working on funeral arrangements, and his body may be returned for a burial here in the St. Louis area.

Kevin was one of the good guys. He loved St. Louis, and was talking about a return here someday.
