Offering our heartfelt prayers and condolences to the entire Smith family on the transitioning of Agnew "Ace" Smith. Agnew was one of my Morehouse College classmate and was a great friend. He will be greatly missed by myself and all who had the pleasure of meeting and coming in contact with him. Agnew was one of the good ones. I am encouraged that will see him again on the other side.
Love,
Martin R Quarles and family

I attended Lakeshore High School with Agnew "Ace". I was the only African American in my home room until one day; Ace walked in with a big smile on his face. He was very intelligent and a perfect gentlemen. Ace family made history as being one of the first Black family on Janice Drive. I stayed in the all black neighborhood a couple streets over. Being said, Ace was very down to earth and he made friends in the all black neighborhood. I lost contact after high school, but he remained friends with one of my neighbors so I would ask about Ace. I see he made so many accomplishment in life which I knew he would from the first day he walked in the classroom with that big smile. Praying for the entire Smith Family. God is in control.
