Johnathan Smith Obituary

Johnathan Michael Smith was called Home Saturday, May 22, 2021. Johnathan was born in Sewickley Valley Hospital and was raised in Sewickley. He was educated in Quaker Valley School System. There, he participated in football and track and field. He earned 4-year letters in both sports. After graduation, he went to Geneva College for two years and was part of their football squad. After Johnathan left college, he worked many places, and he enjoyed cooking and eating. In 2017, Johnathan was hired by MRC Global, where he worked until his death. Johnathan was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Ruby Boler, and grandfather, Bernard Boler. He was also preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Francis I. Smith and Phyllis Smith. He was also preceded in death by his cousin, Kelley Hankinson. He leaves behind his mother, Marian M. Smith; father, Francis I. Smith Jr.; and brother, Francis I. Smith III (Trei); aunt, Mildred King (Oliver), Sherry Boler, Valerie M. Smith, Stephanie G. McNeill; and uncle, Calvin Massie; cousins, Darria and Aaron King, Kenny Hankinson, Lena and Keldan Carr. The special love of his life was Cortney Birt and what a "Love Story"; and a host of great-aunts, uncles and cousins. He is loved and will be terribly missed. There will be a memorial service from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 5, 2021, at COPELAND'S MOON TOWNSHIP, 981 Brodhead Road. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to the Heart Association.

I had the pleasure of watching Johnathan growing up at the YMCA when I worked there as the Youth Director. He was one of the kindest, smartest and most competitive kids ever. He was truly a great kid. I will never forget his smile. I am so sorry for your loss.

I worked and became friends with Johnathan at his latest employer. I was glad to share a day long in the woods and mountains in my buggy, he told me that he had never done anything like that before and really enjoyed it. He was always respectful, courteous, and kind. You will be missed and loved Johnathan, may you rest in peace

Sad to hear about this. Time will heal.
We spent a lot of time on the track all four years. He was so talented.

Sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Johnathans passing. I was just messaging him last week about the time we were both visiting the Slomka family in South Carolina at the same time in 1992. That was when I first met Johnathan. I met him many times after that and say with sincerity that he was truly a good man. I send my condolences to all your family. I am so sorry for your loss.
