April 22, 1957 - September 3, 2025
Scott Eugene Mohawk Smith passed away peacefully on September 3rd, 2025 at Joseph Brant Hospital. He was 68 years old.
Scott is survived by his sons, Colton (Bronwyn Lamond) and Travis. Also surviving are his siblings Barbara, George (Fran), Sandy, Jerry (Yvonne), Ramona, Wanda, Cindy (Tony), Kari and Brock. To some he was known as "Dot", Parker and Nolan will always remember the love and generosity that he showered on them. He will be missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins and Special friends Deb Rauter, Jenn & Sean Riley; and Arturo, Maria & Alma Duran. Scott is predeceased by his parents, AGE III (Chubby) and Darlene (Doepping); and sister Florence Dunham.
Scott was born in Harbor City, California and later lived in San Pedro and Long Beach. His parents and siblings later moved to the Six Nations Reserve near Brantford, Ontario. As a teen he was outgoing and athletic, participating in a variety of sports including basketball and rugby.
Scott always had an entrepreneurial spirit and found success throughout his career. He founded and started Pro Shred (the first mobile shredding unit) in 1985, a company still operating to this day. Scott participated in many other industries, including web domains, mineral exploration, alternative housing, and financial technologies. He was also active in his community, the Six Nations of the Grand River, and worked to advance Indigenous business in Canada as the first member of the Canadian Council of Aboriginal Business (CCAB).
He loved reading and the outdoors. If he wasn’t at a coffee shop working on his next project, he could be found on one of his patented long walks around town. Scott was an innovator. He was always up to date with changing times and technology and loved to share that knowledge with others.
A visitation and Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, September 22nd, 2025 between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM with light refreshments at Native Horizons Treatment Centre, 130 New Credit Rd, Hagersville.
As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or Six Nations Food Bank would be greatly appreciated by Scott’s family.
