Around 50 people turned out to the First Baptist Church of Mexia to celebrate the life of Anna Nicole Smith and her ex-husband Billy Smith's son, the Waco (Texas) Tribune-Herald reported.
Smith's memorial was attended by relatives from Mexia as well as friends from his more recent hometown of Los Angeles.
His relatives knew him as a child who liked to play cowboy, while a friend of his mother's, Jackie Hatten, said she knew Daniel as a sweet young man who kept to himself and kept his nose clean as an adult living in Los Angeles, the Tribune--Herald report said.
"Daniel was sweet, sensitive, respectful. He never cursed, never wanted to drink, never wanted to do drugs. He never even smoked a cigarette," she said in the newspaper report.
