Caleb Smith Obituary

CALEB SCOTT SMITH Carolina Shores Caleb Scott Smith, 13, died Wednesday, February 10, 2016 as the result of a motor vehicle accident. Born on May 12, 2002 in High Point, NC, he was the son of Ellis Scott and Lisa McGee Smith. Caleb attended North Myrtle Beach Christian School where he played soccer and basketball. He was a member of Waterbrook Community Church and was very active in the youth group. He was an avid skateboarder, loved music and his little sister, Hannah. Caleb was tender hearted, cared for others even if they were strangers. He was courageous in leading others to Christ.

Other than his parents of Carolina Shores, Caleb is survived by his sister, Hannah Ruth Smith; maternal grandparents, Linda H. Trogdon (Larry) and Carolyn and Jim Wall; paternal grandparents, Jerry T. Smith (Judy); great-grandfather, Clarence Sink; uncle, Anderson T. Smith (Lynn); cousins, Bailey & Landon Smith, God parents, Kenny and Deborah Greenway. The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 pm on Saturday, February 13 at Waterbrook Community Church. A memorial service will be held at 2 pm on Sunday at Ground Zero, 904 Chester Street, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577, officiated by Kenny Greenway. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Waterbrook Community Church, Youth and Children's Ministry 86 Cloverleaf Drive, #202, Longs, SC 29568.

When I learned of the news of Caleb's death my heart sank. Life cut so short in an instant never seeing the potential of who he would have been as a man. I can't even imagine what his family is going through. My son Chauncey considered Caleb to be one of his best friends and he was devastated when he heard the news. My heart and thoughts have been with all of the families involved since learning about the accident. I hope and pray that the community will step up and support all of the families through this most trying time. I wish that we could come for the memorial service so Chauncey could say goodbye to his friend.

I know you don't feel like it now but hearts will mend some, though a hole always remains. Time does due wonders. I pray harder than ever for you now. What a special day when we go to be with our Lord and our children are waiting for us. Hope you can feel all of our arms around you.
