GRAHAM - Kevin Wilson Smith, 59, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2015, at Duke University Hospital.
He was born Jan. 15, 1956, in Alamance County, to the late Woodrow Smith and Frances Wilson Smith, who survives, and was married to Lisa Oakley Smith for 25 years.
Kevin was an artist in every way. He loved music playing and writing his own songs on his guitar. He restored antique furniture and was able to draw and paint. There was very little he could not do. Kevin had a magnetic personality that drew people to him. He never met a stranger and was always glad to see you. His greatest joy was spending time with his family. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Survivors include his wife of the home; his mother of Elon; daughters, Carly Presnell and husband Chris of San Francisco, Calif., Brandy Brown and husband Jonathan of Burlington and Sarah Winiarski and husband Nick of Boston, Mass.; son, Matt Smith of Newport News, Va.; grandchildren, Gavin Nicholson, Miloh Brown, Garrett Smith and Jaxin Smith; brother, Eric Smith and wife Jackie of St. Simons Island, Ga.; and his special dog, "Bentley."
He was preceded in death by his father and an infant brother.
