Raymond Eugene Smith

The passing of our loving father Raymond E Smith was unexpected and he will be missed by many. A simple man with little words yet he had a huge heart.  A great sense of humor and ready to plunge into any social setting with his jokes. Hard working provider for 5+1 children so life would be filled with possibilities. Willing to experience new things, travel to new destinations and always optimistic with family squabbles. Married to Sharon Lee Smith for 50+ years and enjoyed most of what life has to offer. Raymond was 80 Years old at his time of his death with one living sibling George Smith of Milan Illinois.  Raymond is now in the Lord’s Heavenly Kingdom where he can join his wife Sharon Lee Smith who passed in 2017 and his daughter Echo Rae Smith whom passed in 2016.  

At the request of our Dad no services will be scheduled.  In the near future both of our parents will be laid to rest together in Illinois at the Chippiannock Cemetery Association
