Kevin Grant Smith, 53, of Hayes, died suddenly April 10, 2017, leaving us much too soon.

Kevin, a native of Gloucester County, was a waterman who enjoyed every day being on the water. He was an avid Kyle Busch NASCAR driver fan. He had a broad grin, fantastic wit, and the ability to engage into conversation with anyone, never meeting a stranger.

We will miss our beloved Kevin, who now has been reunited with loved ones in heaven. Our hearts are sad, but we have many happy memories to be with us until we all meet again. Kevin, we love you and miss you dearly.

He was preceded in death by his father, Herman L. Smith Jr.; brother, Kelly Smith, and stepfather, Thomas Hall.

Kevin is survived by his loving wife, Melinda Smith; devoted mother, Charlotte Hall; children, Joey, Daniel (Sharon), Adrienne and Kellie; brother, Craig Hall (Beth); four grandchildren; best friend, Johnnie Haywood, and a host of other relatives and friends.

A funeral service conducted by the Rev. Bill West will be at 2 p.m. Thursday, April 13, 2017, at Hogg Funeral Home, Gloucester Point. Interment will follow in Rosewell Memorial Garden Cemetery. The family received friends Wednesday, April 12, 2017, from 7-8:30 p.m. at the funeral home.
