Timothy Wayne Smith, 57, of Lexington, SC passed away Tuesday, January 2, 2024 peacefully at MUSC hospital in Charleston, South Carolina.  He is the son of Fay Smith of Lexington, SC and his predeceased father Floyd Smith, Jr.  

Timothy grew up as an avid sportsman hunting, fishing, trapping, and riding anything motorized in his hometown of Geneva, IN.  Upon moving to South Carolina, he found a love of water and sunshine.  He could be found most Saturdays spending time with his friends and family riding jet skis at Lake Murray and across the state.  He became an avid Carolina Gamecock fan and continued his loyalty to the Chicago Bears on TV.  He loved his family and friends deeply and would do anything to support them.

He is survived by his son, Brandon Smith; step children, Nicholas Johnson and Lacey Mungo; sisters, Laurice (Barry) Mears and Kimberly Whyde; nieces, Lexi Whyde, Danika Whyde, and Charley (Valerian) Mears; nephew, Joshua Mears;  as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
