In loving memory of my father, Nelson Eugene Smith, who passed away on May 15, 2022.  He was the devoted husband of Peggy Smith Spears of 58 years and loving father of Sharon A. Smith Roloff . He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

One of the kindest souls on this planet, our father was a gentle, giving man who worked tirelessly to ensure that his family had everything they needed. He faced every challenge in life with admirable strength and courage.

Early in life, our father learned the importance of hard work and he instilled that same work ethic in us. He was always there for us, whether we needed help with our homework or just a shoulder to cry on. He was a man of strong faith and he taught us the importance of family, hard work and doing what is right.

Our father was a true role model who we will always look up to. The funeral service will be held at [location] on [date] at [time]. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to [organization's name].

Father, you are now at peace but you will live on forever in our hearts. We love you so much. Rest in peace.
