Herbert David Smith, 57, passed away Thursday, March 26, 2026 in his home with family. He was born in Holmes County, Florida.
He enjoyed playing horseshoe and spending time with family and friends. He also loved watching t.v. and had watched just about every show Netflix had to offer. He firmly believed that family was most important over anything else.
He worked as a roofer for most of his life and at the cotton mill when he was 15.
David was preceded in death by his parents, Barbara Ann Watford and Herbert Hoover Smith; wife, Vickie Lynn Smith; and mother of his children, Romona McAdams.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
He is survived by his sisters, Dana Taylor and Becky Ann Jones; brothers, James Smith and Anthony Taylor; children, April Danielle Leanne Smith and Herbert Joshua David Smith; stepchildren, Nick Bacon, Jeremy Bacon, and Michelle Sewell; grandchildren, Carlie Carroll, Callie Carroll, Caiden Carroll, Kyron Smith, Heather Smith, and Luke Smith; as well as several other step grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
David (PawPaw) was known to be incredibly funny and always made you laugh even without meaning to. His family was most important to him and he loved to say, "blood is thinker than water." He will be missed by all who knew him.
