With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Furman Kenneth Smith, a beloved husband, father, brother, and dedicated member of the Six Mile community.
Born in Six Mile, SC, on November 22, 1950, he was a son of the late Homer Charles and Eleanor Ruth Holliday Smith.
Mr. Smith peacefully departed this world on October 5, 2024, at St. Francis Hospital.
He was a devoted husband to his wife, Annie B. Smith, and a loving father to his children, Kevin Smith and Ashley Smith, and a one-of-a-kind Papa to Liam. He is also survived by two sisters, Norma Aiken (Ronnie), and Nancy McJunkin.
He was known for his unwavering commitment to his family and his community. A graduate of DW Daniel High School in 1970, Mr. Smith embarked on a successful career at Cornell Dublier, where he dedicated 45 years of service. His professionalism and dedication impacted all those around him.
A man of faith, Mr. Smith found solace and community at Gap Hill Baptist Church, becoming a member in 1970 and actively participating in church activities. He was deeply involved in church life and found joy in serving others, and he was also a long-standing Deacon having served from 1985 until 2024.
