Colorado has been actively Vanning since the early 1970s. This page is a tribute to our well remembered Vanners that have since went on to a truck-in in the sky.

Almost all of the Colorado Vanners and many vanners from around the world remember someone on this page. We remember their face as they smiled while sharing a story and a drink around the campfire. We remember their voice while laughing at something that would only happen at a truck-in. We remember them because they were part of the special memories we will hold in our hearts forever. You may shed a tear while looking at their picture and you will probably smile and feel warm inside, you will then know that our fallen vanners have once again made you smile.

Rick Smith, 1955-2004

Rick Smith has been Vanning sinse the 80s, He and his wife Sherry are members of Pikes Peak Van Association, Colorado Springs Colorado. Rick taught me a lot of things. Some of them are not to be shared in mixed company. But seriously, one of them being not to limit myself to a select few people but to be open to the next potential friend that might walk into my life. If you are reading this, you are one of those valued friends. Thanks and may God bless you & keep you close. With all of my love, Sherry Smith aka Tank's Wife : ~ )
