Wade “Calvin” Smith, 88, of Broad Run passed away at his home on Thursday, October 5, 2017, surrounded by family.
Calvin loved his family, his country and was loved by many. He served his country in the U.S. Air Force and was a hard worker, always smiling and happy. He had a quick wit and was an incredible man, always thinking about his next project, always eager to pass along family traditions and work on the land that he loved. His life-long dedication and love to his wife, Joyce, who predeceased him, was genuine.
He is survived by a son, Henry C. Smith (Lesley), a daughter, Julia Smith Soukenik (Gregory); grandchildren William M. Curtis, Jr. (Nichole), Amy Curtis, Christopher Smith and Matthew Smith, a great grandson William M. “Trey” Curtis, III, the love of his life for the last 5 years. He is also survived by his special nephews, Andrew Smith, Bruce Smith, Kevin Smith and Travis Smith.
A service will be held at 10:00 a.m, Wednesday, October 11, at Pierce Funeral Home. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Interment will follow at Stonewall Memory Gardens.
