Michael Joe Smith

Went to be with our Lord and Savior on April 11, 2016 due to unexpected complications from epilepsy.

Born 11/12/82 in Greenville, Michael always lived in the upstate and was currently residing with his father in Seneca. He was a member of Shiloh Baptist Church. Michael loved hiking to waterfalls, fishing on Lake Hartwell, kayaking, horticulture, music and all of nature. He was a kind and humble man who never met a stranger. He was witty with a great sense of humor and appreciated the little things in life. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Michael is survived by his mother Dena Fouty Brown (Scott) of Sunset. His father Joe Smith (Sandra) of Seneca. Paternal grandfather Frank Smith of Seneca. Siblings: Jett Galloway (Justin) of Six Mile, Jade Fahmawi (Amjad) of Easley and Zeke Smith of Charlotte, NC. Girlfriend and soulmate Kristin Roper of Pendleton. Nieces: Emily, Natalie, Sumiyah, Chloe, Ivanna and one nephew, Ghassan. His beloved Pit Bull and constant companion, Janie.

The family is planning a private memorial for Michael at a future date.
