Wayne Smith
Wayne B. Smith, 56, of Florissant, Missouri, passed away peacefully on August 9, 2020 at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. He was born December 24, 1963 to Ronald and Marion (Hohlt) Smith in St. Louis City, Missouri.
Wayne was an excellent carpenter who took pride in his work. His hobbies included fishing, camping, and woodworking. He loved his two children, Andrew W. Smith and Zoey C. Smith, with all of his heart. Wayne was fiercely independent and a hard worker all his life. He never met a stranger and was willing to give the shirt off his back.

Oh my gosh im so sorry for your loss. Wayne was such a nice guy played trivia with him and gene and jonell years back and would see him time to time. When he was visiting them. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. ????
Wayne was always full of fun and laughter. Always had a smile on his face. Grew up with Wayne on Zoe Dr. in Berkeley. Rest In Peace ????????
I am so for the loss of Wayne. I went to high school with him. He was such a nice guy.
Wayne was a kind and gentle man. He was always welcome at my house and he always showed up with positivity and a smile. My kids would talk to him while he worked, and he was always patient with them and answered all of their questions. Wayne LOVED his kids—he loved to talk about them, and he would light up when he told stories about them. Of everything in the world, he was most proud of them. Wayne’s kindness and warmth was often personified by his easy smile and soft chuckle. He was a good man, a hard worker, and a friend to my family and me. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to his family.
