James Earle Smith left his life to be with the Lord on June 13, 2024. As a career lineman and troubleshooter, he worked tirelessly to keep your lights on. In retirement, he just couldn’t retire. He worked project after project to show he truly was a jack, or we should say Jim of all trades. From his faith in Jesus, we know we will see him again.
He is preceded in death by; his parents: Robert and Donna; and one brother: Scott. He is survived by; his wife: Cathy Smith of 41 years; children: Keith and his wife Charlie, J.B. and his fiancé Jenny, Erica, Jimmy and his wife Casondra, Grace, Brandon, and Samantha; two sisters: Teresa and Sandra; six grandchildren; one great grandchild; and a host of other family and friends.
The love he showed his family in all he did was second to none and will forever be remembered. We love you more than words could ever show. Thanks for being a great husband, outstanding dad, and loving friend. We anticipate a hug and a banana split when we meet again.
The family has requested private arrangements under the direction of Faith Funeral Service.
