David had a generous heart and a delightful sense of humor - he could make anyone laugh. He was a huge South Carolina Gamecock fan and loved car races. David enjoyed painting landscapes, watching horror movies, and canning fruits, veggies, jellies, and soups for his family. He also enjoyed mini-vacations, often traveling to the beach, the mountains, and/or the lake. David's loved his family more than anything, especially his granddaughter, who was the apple of his eye and a tremendous source of pride. He will be looking down on all of her accomplishments forever going forward.
David is survived by his wife of 47 years, Yvonne; daughter, Charlotte Blankenship; granddaughter, Ivy Vizueth (Juan); sisters, Brenda Boggs and Marylou Phillips; nieces: Tissie Reeves, Leshell Crouch, Renae Taylor, and Brandy Carroll; and nephews: Tony Epps, Vance Stewart, and Joe McWhite. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Douglas and Otis Smith; and sister, Evelyn McWhite.
