Colin Smith was described by his family and friends as a “protector” and “hero” who loved animals and hosting dinner parties.
Smith, 32, started to defend his friend and the man stabbed him several times around 1:49 a.m. local time on July 2, KGW-TV reported. Smith had already died of his wounds by the time officers arrived,“He was a protector,” Solis told The Oregonian. “He died being the person that we all knew him to be.”
Dani Smith said her family doesn’t want her brother’s story to create fear. Rather, the family is asking people to extend love and kindness to those around them. “He was quick to tell you he loved you, all the time,” Lee told Eater. “He said it to all the guys at Ox. It would catch them off-guard. That was just Colin; he just loved.”Greg Denton, the co-owner of the Ox Restaurant, told Eater that Smith applied initially to be a cook, but that when Denton met him, he was so easy to talk to and nice that Denton decided he’d be a better fit for the front of the restaurant.
