Jeffrey Karl Smith, 63, passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 12, 2018, at Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point in Hudson, Fla.
Jeff was born Dec. 13, 1954, in Springfield, a son of the late Roger and Winnie Smith.
Survivors include a sister, Karla (Ken Hensley); a son, Joshua Smith; a granddaughter, Lyrix Smith; his loving wife, Kristie Smith; three stepdaughters, Stephanie (Jim) McCoy, Amy (Todd) Book and Sarah (Beau) Wallace; and seven more grandchildren.
Jeff loved the water and loved to be near it whether it was a lake, ocean or pool. He was also an avid boater. He enjoyed his many projects at his retirement home in Florida and his home on Indian Lake.
One of his favorite pastimes was singing karaoke with family and friends at his home. The family’s joke was that no one could get in between a “Smith” and a microphone.
Jeff was loved by many for his zest for life. He loved his family and friends and enjoyed their visits. He will be greatly missed by many and left fond memories by all that knew him.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
