Adam Eugene Smith

Adam Eugene Smith, 50, of Lake Park, GA passed away peacefully on Monday, June 8, 2026, at his home. He was born to Claude and Pamela Smith on March 15, 1976, in Cleveland, TN. 

Adam enjoyed spending time outdoors shooting guns, hunting, fishing and playing with his wood! He could build anything and he made every one of Kathleen’s crazy plans come to life. His heart was at it’s fullest showing his babies all of the cool things he made for them.

He is preceded in death by his sister, Patty Smith, parents Claude and Pamela Smith and two angel babies, one niece and one nephew. 

Adam is survived by his best friend, his world, his wife of 22 years, Kathleen Smith of Lake Park, GA; daughters, Victoria (Destiny) of Quitman, GA, Chelsea (Travis) of Valdosta, GA, and Mallory (Patrick) of Hahira, GA; sons, Austin of Mayo, FL, James (April) of Rogersville, AL; grandchildren, Maximus, Layla, Kynley, Alexis, McKayla, Aaron, Keegan, McKenna and baby boy on the way; great grandchildren, Esmae and Sinclair; sister Jeannie (Richard) of Staunton, VA, brother Alton Jr. of Lake Park, GA; nephew Preston (Katelin) and niece, Lindsey of Staunton, VA along with his Great Nephew Jasper and Great Niece Cora. Even in death, Adam continues to give the gift of life through whole body donation. 

As per his wishes, Adam has donated his body to science to become a teacher of medicine at the greatest college on earth, UGA! Adam and his entire health journey from beginning to end was a series of anomalies that deserve to be studied. Time and time again, doctors were astounded by him and his body’s ability to survive and recover many life-threatening conditions that healthy individuals don’t overcome. He faced every setback with grit, tenacity, and an unwavering will to keep going. GO DAWGS!

 Adam began writing an autobiography to which he opened with the following words. “I wanna start this by saying someone always has it worse. This is my story and I hope maybe there’s other people out there that my story may benefit them. If they’re feeling as if there’s no need to keep pushing on or are just ready to give up. Don’t you’re here for a reason! Stay strong and keep on keeping on!!” Adam would like to remind everyone to keep his legacy alive.Please consider being an organ donor.

A celebration of life service will be held at a later date. Announcements will be made accordingly. Kind words and expressions of sympathy can be left for the family at www.musicfuneralservices.com.
