Born in: Bandara, Texas
Resided in: Quinlan, Texas

Robert Kenneth Smith, Sr., born March 20, 1932, went home to be with the Lord August 10, 2023. He was 91 years old.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas P. Smith and Lois Kathleen Click, his wife of 40 years, Irma Jean Smith, his brother and sister-in-law, Burt and Beverly Smith, and his son, Robert Kenneth Smith, Jr.

He is survived by his children, Kelly Dean Smith and wife Lisette Smith of Maud, TX, Matthew Kenneth Smith and wife Rica Smith of Austin, TX, Laura Anne Boyd and husband Shane Boyd of Quinlan, TX, as well as 4 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

Kenneth was born in Bandera, Texas when going to school bare-footed was normal. He and his brother Burt lived a life similar to Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn along the Medina River.

As an adult, Kenneth was married twice and fathered 3 sons. It was only after meeting Jeannie, his second wife, that he found the Lord and pastored a small church in Quinlan, TX for over 20 years.

Kenneth was always quick to laugh and smile, and had a generous spirit.Β  He wanted for only simple pleasures in life, such as coffee, peanut butter, and chocolate cake. Ken and Jeannie over the years, enjoyed bowling, fishing, playing dominoes, growing a garden, and watching the Texas Longhorns play football.

A couple of days before his passing, he said he “had a full life and we should be happy for him”. I couldn’t agree more!

Graveside services will be 9:00 a.m. Sunday, August 13, 2023 at Douglassville Cemetery under the direction of Reeder-Davis Funeral Home in Linden. Bro. Dan Griekspoor officiating.
