Steve Smith

Steve Smith, age 69, of Arnoldsville, Georgia passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 23 with family at his side.

Son of the late Lloyd Charles and Mary Ann Smith, Steve grew up in Maxeys, Georgia and lived most of his life in or around Oglethorpe County. Steve graduated from Oglethorpe County High School in 1970 and attended both Gainesville Junior and Truett McConnell Colleges. He was a self-employed carpenter for most of his career, a trade he had learned from his father. Steve lived a simple life. He was a hard worker who took pride in his craftmanship and loved doing for others. In his free time, he enjoyed fishing, golfing and spending time with his friends. He recently retired and had plans to travel but was unable to follow through due to health issues.

Steve is survived by his sister, Debbie (Jerry) Tammen; brother Lane (Colleen) Smith; nephews Wesley (Courtney) Patton, Logan Smith, and Bryson Smith; niece, Brooke Smith; grandnephews Eli Patton, Lucas Patton and Aiden Patton. Steve was a beloved brother and friend and will be missed by all.

There will be a Visitation for friends and family on Monday, January 3, 2022 at 11am at Lord and Stephens, East followed by a Celebration of Life Memorial Service at noon.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Steve’s memory to the Maxeys Christian Church.
