Charlie was born in Forsyth County on January 24, 1963 to Charles Ernest Smith and the late Betty Jane Baker Smith. In addition to his mother, he was preceded in death by a daughter, Aranda Smith, son, Aaron Willard.
Charlie graduated from East Forsyth High School and worked for Hooker Furniture, Baker Construction, and a multitude of jobs; always earning a living by working with his hands.He never had much in the way of material possessions and didn’t really want any. He bonded with nature and was so talented in woodworking. He was very smart but didn’t really want people to know that he was. Such a sense of humor and quirky-ness. Loved to read about other cultures and places. Loved to watch the stars at night. Favorite food was still, to the age of 60, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He was a loving son, grandfather, brother and friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his father, Charles Ernest Smith and wife Mildred; grandchildren, Elysia, Kyleigh, Zayden, Gavin, Jocelynn, Cali and Olive; great-grandchild, Rory; sister, Rhonda Smith Eaton and husband Marvin of Belews Creek, NC; daughter-in-law, Jesse.
