Mark Alan Smith 59, from Illinois but had moved to Mississippi in 2004 leaving his heart in Florida, where he lived most of his life.
Mark had been a devoted husband to Sandra of almost 30 years. He also left two children, Thomas Rondy & (Belinda) of Gulfport, Laurie Pike & (Rick) of Clearview, UT; four grandchildren, Kyle, Kaitlyn, Kara, and Reagan. He also left two sisters, Jackie & (Noel), Janice & (Steve) and lastly like his own parents, he has left his mother-in-law Mary he called ""Grandma"" and his father-in-law Bob, he called ""Grandpa"".
There was one thing for sure, he was blessed with so many friends. He loved everyone. He also loved to fish. He could spend hours throwing his cast net to get his bait. Last of all he loved all of his babies, his dogs Boo Boo, Benji, and Rudy. They were irreplaceable to him. Mark, you will be missed. There are a lot of us that are still crying as hard as the first day.
A Memorial Service will be held at the family's residence. Contact the family for further information.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions, in memory of Mark Smith, at the Hancock Bank in Ocean Springs.
