Carlon Smith 74, of McKinney Texas, went home to our Savior and Lord on February 26th due to years of fighting chronic medical conditions. Carlon was a graduate of Corunna High School in Corunna, Michigan class of 1964. After receiving a scholarship for playing in the band at Central Michigan University he attended for 2 years studying Biology. He excelled in all sports and was able to play all of the brass instruments in a band, however his favorite instrument was the Tuba. Carlon had a robust career in manufacturing that took him to live in 10 different states for companies like Universal Electric, Magnetek, Brunswick, and Thomas and Bets. His favorite pastime was spending time with his family IF he wasn’t working or on the golf course. He was an avid reader, singer, lover of music and true romantic at heart. The one thing Carlon always left behind with others, was his charismatic and beautiful smile.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters. He
restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for
Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me. Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou
anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth
over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell
in the house of the Lord forever.
