Eldon Erby

Smith

Eldon Erby Smith left this world to be with Jesus on September 18, 2021 at the age of 65, in his hometown of Wichita Falls, Texas. His battle with serious medical issues in recent years showed his courage and the ability to smile through life's uncertainty.

As a child, Eldon was a sweet boy with an adventurous spirit. As he grew up, he showed a creative proclivity which he expressed through music and art. As an aspiring musician, he taught himself to play the guitar and piano by ear and as an artist he honed his skills in drawing and painting. Eldon found Jesus at a young age and spent his life growing closer to him through dedicated bible study and prayer. He was a very talented machinist and self-taught computer programmer.

Eldon is preceded in death by his parents, Erby and Mayme Smith, and his first wife Betty.

Eldon is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Smith; children, Sarai Heskett, Rachel York, Daniel Smith; step-son Daniel Hill-Neil; grandchildren, Carrie Smith, Jaylen McCaskill, Aniyah McCaskill, and Ella Heskett. He is also survived by her sisters, Terrie Hacker and Pam Smith; nephews, Shawn Smith and Brian Hacker; and niece, Mallory

A Graveside Service will be held at Crestview Memorial Cemetery at 3pm on Friday, September 24, 2021.
