James Franklin Smith, 87


James Franklin Smith

    James Franklin Smith, age 87, of 7th Street, Ravenna, Kentucky, passed away Wednesday, March 8, 2023, at his home, following a brief illness.
    He was born April 8, 1935, in Whitley County, Kentucky, the son of the late Frank Smith and Mary Powers Smith. He was an active member of Salem Baptist Church at Spout Springs in Estill County.
    Best known as “Brother Smith”, this beloved pastor and teacher served as a schoolteacher in Wolfe and Lee counties, and substitute teacher in Estill County. Throughout his more than 50 years of service, he pastored Heidelberg Baptist Church, Stone Coal Baptist Church, Friendship Baptist Church, and Nada Baptist Mission. He served as Director of Missions in Enterprise Baptist Association and Boone’s Creek Baptist Association. In 1999, he was selected as Director of Missions of the year for the Kentucky Baptist Convention.
    Most think of giants as being tall, but he may have been the only 5’3” (“and a half”) giant who ever lived. He certainly was a giant in love, faith, mercy, compassion, kindness, and generosity. Having cared for his beloved wife every day for eight years until her passing three years ago, he was a model husband as well as a model son, brother, dad, grandfather, and great grandfather. From his confession of faith as a twelve-year-old until his passing, he continued to walk faithfully, completely trusting in Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord. This week, his Bible lay ready in his chair for the next daily reading. His last completed devotional lay completely underlined for every day in the past quarter. His new devotional and new Sunday School book lay ready for study. Yet, he went to sleep, and he was not; for (much like Enoch) – on what would have been his 65th wedding anniversary.
    He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Jean Spencer Smith of Ravenna; a son, Jeffrey Wade Smith of Ravenna; a brother, Kenneth Smith of Lafollette, Tennessee; and two sisters, Myrtle Katz and Marie Drake, both of Dayton, Ohio.
    Bro. Smith is survived by son, Jerry Smith (Dianne) of Irvine; a brother, Chester Smith (Jeanette) of Felicity, Ohio; a sister Naomi Sears (Ed) of Whitley County, Kentucky; a brother, Lloyd Smith (Juanita) of Andersonville, Tennessee; a brother, Walter Smith (Carol) of Riverside, Ohio; a brother, Wayne Smith of Powell, Tennessee; a brother, David Smith of Whitley County, Kentucky; a sister-in-law, Ella Mae Smith of Lafollette, Tennessee; grandchildren: Phillip Smith (Julie) and Matthew Smith, both of Richmond, Kristin Usry and Shelby Kennedy, both of Tampa, Florida; a great grandson, James Norwood Smith of Richmond; and a host of family and friends.
    Funeral services will be conducted Friday, March 10, 2023, 11:00 a.m., at the Warren F. Toler Funeral Home by Bro. Jerry Smith. A separate graveside service will be conducted at 1:00 p.m. at the H.C. Spencer Family Cemetery at Rogers in Wolfe County, Kentucky. Friends may call between 6 and 9 p.m., Thursday, March 9th at the Funeral Home.
    Pallbearers are Phillip Smith, Matthew Smith, Chester Smith, Wayne Smith, Harold Smith, and Mark Barnett.
    In lieu of flowers, friends and family may send donations for mission work to Salem Baptist Church, 4470 Spout Springs Road, Irvine, KY 40336.
