Joshua Smelcer Obituary
Joshua "Josh" Smelcer, 37, of Greeneville, passed away Wednesday in Bristol.
Josh loved racing, cooking, mechanics from engines to body work, and good conversations.
He had a magnetic personality that drew others to him. He would light up a room with his beautiful blue eyes and smile. After Josh was saved, he wanted to talk to others about drug addiction and to tell of the never ending love and saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Josh was preceded in death by his grandparents: James and Alice Helen Smelcer, Billie A. Gass and Betty Holland; a son: Logan James Smelcer; and special aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Josh is survived by his mother: Janice (Nicki) Gass; his father: Stacey (Judy) Johnson; a much loved aunt and uncle: Betty Davis and Charles Russell Jr.; his pops: Gregory King; and many loved cousins and friends.
The family will receive friends from 1:30-8 p.m. Thursday at Jeffers Funeral & Cremation Service, Afton chapel.
The funeral service will be Friday at 2 p.m. in Pine Grove Free Will Baptist Church.
The interment will follow in the church cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the funeral home to defray funeral expenses.
Jeffers Funeral and Cremation is in charge of the arrangements.
