Smith intended to attend law school with hopes of working as a lawyer for the federal government and recently worked as an intern at the Cato Institute in Washington, D.C., researching criminal justice reform issues.

A jack-of-all-trades, he was a fan of political science, philosophy, economics, and history and was also invested in movies and music.

He was also a fan of sports — particularly the Detriot Lions — and “was a National Merit Scholar semifinalist, was active in the Junior Classical League and captained his school’s Quiz Bowl team to back-to-back state runner-up finishes.”

Not long after Debbie’s announcement

“The JEOPARDY! family is heartbroken by the tragic loss of Brayden Smith,” they wrote. “He was kind, funny, and absolutely brilliant. Our deepest condolences go out to Brayden’s family. He will be missed.”

Smith is survived by his family including Debbie, his father Scott, brother Bryce, Brock and Brody, and several grandparents and cousins, his aunt, and his uncle.

Arrangements are pending, according to the obituary. He was set to compete in the “Jeopardy!” Tournament of Champions.
