Smith III, Grady A.
Grady A. 'Art' Smith III, 62, passed away peacefully Dec 13, 2017 at home surrounded by his family. Grady fought a very tough battle but was ready to come home to be with his family.

Grady was the only realtor that would call us back when we moved here from Texas, he took the time to show us lower priced homes. He was a kind man and will be missed by our community.

I have closed on several properties with Grady in the past years and he was such a nice guy. I was so sorry to hear of his passing and my thoughts and prayers to his family.

I worked with Grady at Coldwell Banker and am sorry to read of his passing - although, it is comforting to know he passed peacefully. May your memories sustain you through the coming days, weeks, months and years.
