Smith served as the Shelby Baptist Association church’s music minister for 17 years, as well as a deacon and Sunday School teacher. He also served about three years in the National Guard.

“He was a true man of God and lived in such a way that there was no doubt his faith was both genuine and powerful,” said Greg Walker, pastor of Grace Baptist.
