Mason Rush: Legacy of A Grandfather David N. Smith RIP 9/7/2021 Pancreatic Cancer
The Story That Started It All narrated by Mason Rush & Brandon Rush
We take it back to the story that launched the Buckle Up Podcast Universe — the one that brought in over 1 million views and captured the hearts of everyone who heard it.
This is the story of Mason Rush and his Uncle B, actor Brandon Rush, as they recount the precious time they spent with their grandfather — David N. Smith.
For 18 months, we shared life, laughter, love, and lessons with my father as he battled stage four pancreatic cancer. My dad fought every single day with courage and dignity. Week after week, he went through chemo — but never lost his faith. Even as he faced his own pain, he continued to encourage others, to minister, and to inspire hope in those fighting their own battles.
Those months changed us forever. They bonded Mason, me, and my father in a way that only time, love, and vulnerability can.
We miss him every day. And we carry his spirit into every single thing we build.
“Out of all the souls I have encountered in my lifetime, his was the most human.”
— Star Trek
We love you, Dad. And everything we’re doing with Buckle Up is because of you.
