SMITH, Jonathan W., age 42, passed away on June 21st at Brandon Regional Hospital due to a rare blood disorder. Jonathan's life was truly blessed in many ways, and he touched the hearts of everyone who knew him.
Born on October 27, 1982, in Harford, Maryland, Jonathan was the beloved son of Melinda and Marvin Smith. He was an exceptional student at Armwood High School, graduating in the class of 2000. After high school, he pursued studies in computer science for two years at college. Jonathan held various jobs before following his true calling to attend ministry school, where he became a devoted Christian preacher.
Jonathan is survived by his loving family in Florida, including his mother, Melinda Smith, his cherished son, Charles Smith, and their extended families. He will be remembered for his generous spirit, kind heart, and the love he shared with everyone he encountered.
The family extends a heartfelt "thank you" to all who offered their love, prayers, and support during this time.
Jonathan lived a life full of faith and compassion. He was deeply loved and will remain in our hearts forever.
God bless and take care of my son.
