Robert Smith Obituary
Robert was a lifelong resident of Augusta and remained deeply connected to the community where he was born and raised. Throughout his life, he was known for his honesty, warmth, and sense of humor. Those who knew him remember a man who loved deeply and lived with integrity.
He was a devoted father to his daughter Debra Renee Price and took great pride in his role as a grandfather to Steve Allen Goodwin Jr., Brittany Ann Nichols, Morgan Renee Price, and Cole Andrew Price. His family brought him immense joy and were central to his life.
Robert faced the loss of loved ones with strength and grace. He was predeceased by his beloved son Shawn Andrew Smith, as well as his parents, William Andrew Smith and Velma I. Ballew.
A man of simple pleasures and deep passions, Robert found joy in spending time with his little dog Paco, whose companionship meant the world to him. He also enjoyed metal detecting-a hobby that combined his love for the outdoors with a sense of adventure and discovery. An avid animal lover throughout his life, Robert's compassion extended beyond people to all creatures great and small.
His legacy is one of love, laughter, and unwavering honesty. Robert's presence will be deeply missed by those who knew him.
May his memory bring comfort to those who mourn his passing.
