Benjamin McKinley Smethurst Jr.

Good day and respect to your family...I came across this obituary when searching for my own son's name. And what a fascinating discovery I found. Your Benjamin is an amazing spirit, as is my own son. Thank you for letting me share....bless you and be well.

Sometimes we come to know, or at the very least appreciate, a life well-lived by knowing the progeny of one who has departed. I never had the honor of meeting Ben Smethurst, but I feel that I know something of him by knowing his son, Rick. After reading the obituary it is clear that the influence of the father is seen clearly in the son. I can also see how important this man was to his family and how deserving he was of the many blessings he received in this life. I give thanks to God for...

Rick -- Robbie and I were so saddened to hear of the passing of your Dad. From reading the obituary, we see that he lived a full and productive life. We know that you and your family are so very proud of him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and we pray that The Good Lord will bless you and keep you forever in His loving care.
