Henry Vander Smith Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Suburban Funeral Home - Charleston on Mar. 13, 2026.
He rose with the tide and the turning of a wrench, hands rough from engines and rivers alike. A fisherman at heart, a mechanic by trade, he fixed what was broken and cherished what God made. Now the waters are calm and the tools laid to rest, but the love he gave lives on in the hearts he blessed.

On Tuesday March 10, 2026; God in His infinite wisdom, called son Henry Smith Jr, 91, of Wando, South Carolina from labor to reward.

Celebration of Life for Mr. Smith will be on Thursday March 19, 2026 at 1:00 PM, Suburban Funeral Home Chapel.

There will be NO viewing on Wednesday, March 18, 2026. Viewing for Mr. Smith will be on Thursday March 19, 2026 from 12 noon to 1:00 PM
