Stanley Loyd Smith

Stanley Loyd Smith, aged 71, of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas was born on April 19^th, 1952, and passed away May 6^th, 2023, in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

He is survived by his loving wife, Dallas, sisters Lana Hughes of Bismarck and Gaye Smith of Little Rock, his children Carissa Weatherford of Hot Springs, Zach and Casey Smith of Corinth, Texas, Adam Smith of Saint Charles, Kentucky, and Austin Smith of Glen Rose, Arkansas, and grandchildren Caleb Ford of Hot Springs and Evan, Jenna, and Harrison Smith of Corinth, Texas.

He is preceded in death by his father, William Loyd ‘Pete’ Smith, his mother Maurine Smith, and son Zebulon Loyd Smith. He is also recently preceded by his best friend, Ron Wright.

A devoted son, husband, and father, Stan was a skilled outdoorsman, an avid golfer, and a passionate sports fan. And his passion burned brightest for his beloved Razorbacks! No matter the sport, he loved nothing more than an Arkansas win and in the final months of his life, he relished following the Razorbacks’ latest baseball season alongside Dallas. Stan was also a talented artist, a gifted vocalist, and an engaging conversationalist with passions for music, history, and politics. But perhaps his favorite pastime was spending time with old friends, exchanging stories, and laughing joyously.

A memorial service is planned for Thursday, May 11^th, 2023, at 1pm at Unity Missionary Baptist Church, 206 Unity Ln. Bismarck, AR 71929.
