Mr. Smith was a true example of a honest, hardworking man who worked to provide for his family. In his younger years, he participated in bowing leagues. He loved to watch Nascar, and you could guarantee he would be cheering on his favorite driver, Jeff Gordon .When he decided to retire, his time was spent sitting on his front porch where you'd find him watching the days go by. He loved more than anything, spending time with his family and friends.

Survivors include his beautiful wife of 48 years, Barbara Smith; one son, Jason (Christy) Foster; two grandchildren, Kaitlin and Taylor; four great grandchildren, Talon, Ila, Olivia, and Keegan; one sister, Rebecca (Robert) Peardon; one sister in law, Linda Smith; one brother in law, Jeff Roper; and his best buddy- canine companion, his faithful dog Merlin.
