Michael D. Smith

1978 - 2025

Michael D. Smith, was born September 13, 1978 in Fayette County, Tennessee to Eddie Hardin, Jr. and Annie B. Smith. He accepted Christ at an early age and joined Concord Missionary Baptist Church.

Michael was a graduate of Fayette Ware High School. He enjoyed working as a landscaper, mowing and manicuring lawns. Although he had no biological children, Michael loved his nephew, Micah Smith, like he would his own son. They held a very close and special bond.

Michael tragically departed this life on January 6, 2025, along with his "Ride-R-Die" cousin, Ted Lee Spencer Vaughn, who he loved like a brother. He was preceded in death by his brother-in-law, Beasel; and his nephew, Bentley. They are gone too soon and will be deeply missed.

Michael leaves to cherish his memories; his father, Eddie Hardin, Jr. and his mother, Annie B. Smith, both of Moscow, TN; three sisters, Jaclyn Smith (Deon), Monique Smith, and Monica Smith all of Moscow; seven nephews, Q, Malique, Jaquan, Deon Jr., Tyler, Micah, and King; three nieces, Makayla, Ja'Kaylynn, and Maliyah; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family and friends.
