Mark M. Smith, age 68, of Camden, Tennessee, passed away on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at Camden General Hospital.
Born on August 31, 1957, in Fairfield, California, to the late Clifton Smith and Cora Hill Smith, Mark lived a life rooted in faith, family, and integrity. He loved fishing and cooking, two of his greatest passions. He was a devoted husband, father, and follower of Christ, whose quiet strength and steadfast love left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.
Mark was a proud member of Cowell's Chapel Christian Church, where his faith guided his words and actions throughout his life. Those close to him knew him as a man who worked hard and loved deeply. His sense of humor, gentle nature, and devotion to his family will be remembered always.
He is survived by his loving wife, Debra "Deb" Biondo Smith of Camden, TN; his son, Brett Smith of Jeffersonville, IN; and his daughter, Angela Smith of Elizabethtown, KY.
Mark is also survived by his brother Leon Smith, and sisters Roberta Thomas, Marla Smith, Yvonne Smith, and Shelia (John) Spafford, as well as several nieces and nephews who will cherish his memory.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers, Aaron Smith and Kevin Smith.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 6 PM at Cowell's Chapel Christian Church to celebrate his life and the many ways he blessed those around him.
Mark's love and example live on in his family, his faith, and the countless lives he touched. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Mark, please visit our floral store.
