Mark Anthony Smith, age 50 of Carrollton, Georgia, passed away on Saturday, February 20, 2021. He was born on September 15, 1970, in Carrollton, Georgia, to Damon Smith and Martha Jo Smith. He was a 1989 graduate of Carrollton High School. After high school, Mark followed his entrepreneurial leanings, owning the businesses Flippers Game Room and Printing Plus before becoming an Amazon reseller.
Mark knew his purpose was found in fulfilling the Great Commission in Matthew 28: 18-20: "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." To this end, he served as Worship Leader at Word of Life Church in Carrollton, Georgia.
Mark was preceded in death by his son Jonah Smith. He is survived by his wife Amy Smith of Carrollton, Georgia; his children Mitch Smith of Raleigh, North Carolina; Nathan Smith of Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Samuel Smith and Naomi Smith of Carrollton, Georgia; his parents Martha Jo Smith of Carrollton, Georgia, and Damon Smith of Bremen, Georgia; and his brothers Scott (Melinda) Smith of Chatsworth, Georgia, and David (Michelle) Smith of Rocky Face, Georgia; and many nieces and nephews.
