Smith, president of the Radio Bible Hour, is perhaps best known for his sermon, "God's Three Deadlines." Countless thousands of people came to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior after hearing the message.
His love for our Lord Jesus Christ and his anointing for the preaching of the gospel were manifested every time he preached God's Word, encouraged a preacher boy, and witnessed to an unsaved individually. We will miss him greatly. His thundering voice has been silenced, but his witness will live on through the thousands who came to Christ under his ministry.
Funeral service was held Nov. 17 at 11 a.m. at Brushy Creek Baptist Church in Easley, S.C. Interment did follow at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Greenville, S.C. Merritt did officiate the service along with B.J. Maddox of Shreveport, La., and Don Witt of Brushy Creek Baptist Church.
Smith is survived by one son, J. Donald Smith of Newport, Tenn.; one daughter, Martha Tiller of Newport; two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Smith was preceded in death by his wife, Myrtice, and their 5-year-old son, J. Harold Smith Jr.
