Robert Smith Obituary

Harlingen - "I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and every highway. And more, much more I did it my way." 11/28/1939 - 09/04/2022

Robert "Bob" Smith was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandpa and friend. He lived a long and joyous life next to his wife, Mireya Smith, whom he spent the last 26 years with. He leaves behind his brother Lee Smith, his children Elva Smith, Nora Smith, Julio Smith, Abraham Smith and Mia Smith along with 15 grandchildren.

Bob did everything with a heart full of love and passion for his family. He always encouraged people to be the best they could be and loved people wholeheartedly. He instilled humanity, values and the love of reading and learning but most importantly he showed us how to love without limits.

His family and friends will always miss him, but he loved us all so well that we have nothing but happy memories of the greatest man we've ever known.

A celebration of Life service will be held on Thursday September 8, 2022 at 10:00 am at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, located at 2320 Haine Dr. Harlingen, TX 78550.

Honored to serve as pallbearers will be Julio Smith, Felipe Garza, Jean Claude Garza, Abram Smith, Robert J. Smith and Jose Garza.

My love & deepest condolences Bob's family who were everything to him. You all were his pride & joy. Whenever Bob looked at his beautiful wife,Mirey, you could see the love & happiness she brought him twinkling in his eye. Bob had the biggest brightest smile & big heart to match. Bob gave much of himself to help others, and did so with joy. He will be greatly missed.
Rest in Peace Bob
Elva, Nora & Julio my prayers are with you, your mom & your children during this difficult time. May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
