Deacon Virgil Smith, Jr. Obituary (1947

On October 10, 2025, Virgil was called home to glory, passing peacefully at his residence with his loving wife and children by his side. He leaves behind his devoted wife, Carolyn Ross of Pineville, South Carolina, and five children: Troy Nesbitt (Tiffany), Miracle Smith, Virgil Smith III, April Smith (Rhashad), and Anita Ono (Takuya). He also leaves a special friend and son, Kurvelle Clark and nine adored grandchildren: Anastasia, Azariah, Asher, Paul, Mia, Carolyn Jeanette (CJ), Austin, Kyo and Ryo. Virgil is survived by his loving siblings: Allan Smith (Karen), Aletha Mullen (Pat), Wanda Pennix, Mykah Moore (Reginald) along with many nieces, nephews, family, and dear friends. Virgil's life was a reflection of faith and love. To know him was to be touched by kindness and to witness what it truly meant to walk with the Lord. Though he is no longer with us, his light continues to shine through the hearts of all who were blessed to know him. His memory will live on as a reminder of the power of love, faith, and family--and the unshakable peace that comes from a life rooted in God."
