Curtis “Kykee” Ralph Smith, age 61, passed away June 6, 2015 at his home in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee.
Curtis was born in St. Louis, Missouri on September 20, 1953 to the late Roy Smith and Winora Lily. Curtis had a big personality and he loved an audience. He loved to share music and laughter with everyone. He was all about the guitar and he was always playing and singing. He was a creative person and spent a lot of time writing music or sketching; he especially loved to draw eagles. If he wasn’t drawing or writing, chances are you could find him at a bonfire, very likely playing the guitar and sharing good company with others. Curtis will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Curtis is survived by his: wife: Rayetta Smith of Mt. Pleasant, TN; daughters: Lacey (Justin) Wittenmeyer of Mt. Pleasant, Samantha (William) Sides of Elden, MO, Dorothy Fulcher of Peamont, MO, Tracey Smith of Park Hills, MO, Karie Smith of Bonnetairre, MO, and Michelle Smith of Mt. Pleasant; son: Tony Smith of Bonetairre, MO; sisters: Miranda Smith of St. Joseph, TN, Patricia Bouland of Gillespie, IL, and Joanna Thompson of Pensacola, FL; brothers: Herman Smith of Mt. Pleasant, TN and Kenny Smith of Cahokia, IL; niece: Leona (Ben) Tyler of St. Joseph; nephew: Hunter Smith; and 10 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
