RONALD “CRAIG” SMITH II,

-

Age 29, of Little Rock, Ark., was called to heaven on Tuesday, November 16, 2021.

Craig was an entreprene­ur. He worked for Anna Parks, owner of Anna’s Estate Sales, and recently opened his own power washing business, The Chosen Wands. He chose the name to let his customers know he was operating a Christian based company.

Craig leaves behind a family that loved him dearly; his father, Ron Smith of Little Rock; mother, Pamela McKnight of Little Rock; his sister, Whitney Smith also of Little Rock; and his brother, Matt Smith of Mesa, Ariz.

He also leaves behind his grandfathe­r, Ray Terrill of Tulsa, Okla.; aunts, Jackie Morris (Mark) of Tulsa, Cindy McDaniel (Stephen) of Meridian, Miss., Debi Alain (Ladd), of Lake Charles, La., Staci Stockton, of Gulf Shores, Ala., and Paula Watkins (Tommy), of Little Rock, Ark. Also survived by uncles, George Smith (Michelene) of Bismarck, Ark., Rob Smith (Gwen) of Lake Charles, La., Mark Terrill of Jupiter, Fla., Phillip McKnight (Meg) of Colorado and 21 cousins in Ark., La., Miss., Okla., and Fla.

He was preceded in death by his step-mother, Jeannie Smith, and maternal grandmothe­rs, Bernieta Terrill and Bettye McKnight.

His family wants Craig to be remembered as a big, overgrown kid that loved life, loved God, and loved his family and friends. Craig was a member of New Life Church. He never met a stranger, always saw the best in everyone and would drop everything to help anyone. His infectious smile and personalit­y will be missed but never forgotten.

Pastor Harry Bates of New Life Church will be officiatin­g the service. Serving as pallbearer­s are Andrew Morton, Keithdrick Smith, Josh Talley, Jake Lindsey, Gunner Moffatt, and Muskie Harris.
