Roger Dale Smith

Roger Dale Smith Six Mile, South Carolina Roger Dale Smith, age 77, loving husband of 51 years to Linda C. Smith, passed away on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at his home, surrounded by his family. Born on September 24, 1948, in Six Mile, Roger was the beloved son of the late Clifford Christopher Smith and Ethel Mae Towe Smith. He was a master brick mason who took great pride in working with his hands. No matter the task, he could build it, fix it, or figure it out. He spent much of his life building houses and creating things that would stand the test of time, always staying busy and never shying away from hard work. Roger loved guns and knives and had a deep appreciation for true craftsmanship. He enjoyed anything that involved skill, precision, and hands-on work. Even when he was not working, he found joy in life’s simple pleasures — tending to his flowers, going to yard sales, and searching for a good bargain. He had a special knack for finding treasures where others might never think to look. He was the kind of man who was always moving, always building, and always finding something productive to do. His strong work ethic, natural talent, and love for creating and repairing things left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Survivors include his wife, Linda C. Smith of the home; children, Cheri Smith Grindle (Freddie) of Calhoun, GA, Danny Smith (Tina) of Six Mile, Lori Smith Ayers (Kenny) of Woodstock, GA, and Cathy Smith (Danny Wayne) of Six Mile; grandchildren, Christopher Smith (Bobbie Lynn), Elizabeth Franks (Anthony), Kody Wilson (Whitney), Grant Ayers (Torrie), Christian Cain (Somer), Scarlett Mosley (Chandler), Noah Ayers (August), Camron Smith, and Bryson Smith; great-grandchildren, Raelyn, Iyla, Scout, Wren, Creed, Noa, Saylor, Dallas, Cody, Cash, Lainey Mae, Oakland, and Carmella; special niece, Michelle Moore; and many more loving family members. In addition to his parents, Mr. Smith was predeceased by his sisters, Sue Mann, Dot Whitlock, Louise Yeargin, and Jean Porter; and only brother, David Smith. The family will hold a memorial service on Monday, May 11, 2026, at 11:00 AM in the sanctuary of Gap Hill Baptist Church in Six Mile. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Roger’s honor may be made to Gap Hill Baptist Church, 127 Gap Hill Rd, Six Mile, SC 29682. Mountain View Funeral Home is serving the Smith family.
