Robert W “Smitty” Smith, Jr, 67, of East Liverpool, OH, passed away suddenly on Monday, February 14, 2022 at East Liverpool Hospital. Robert was born December 13, 1954, the son of the late Robert and Maxine (Bailey) Smith. Graduating from Beaver Local High School with the class of 1973 where he played football all four years

A lifelong resident of Grimms Bridge Road, he was a member of the East Liverpool Chapter of the Fraternal Order of Orioles as well as the East Liverpool Moose Lodge 122. “Smitty” was an avid walleye fisherman and could often be found with his minnow bucket fishing in his favorite spots along Beaver Creek or gathering minnows for his next day’s catch. Robert was also very proud of his construction and remodeling skills. His most recent jobs allowed him the opportunity to work alongside his son and son-in-law completing numerous projects. He was a faithful Cleveland Browns fan and a lover of classic rock. Robert had a special love for horticulture, which he inherited from his grandmother’s. He was able to identify any plant, tree, or shrub, and tell you its scientific name. In his down time he could be found walleye fishing and camping at Lake Erie. Robert will be remembered for many things, but the love and pride he had for his family is his greatest legacy.

Left to cherish his memory are: his children, Courtney (Ryan) Burgess, of Wellsville, OH, and Gregory (Sherri) Smith, of Calcutta, OH; grandchildren: Devon Smith, Quinton Burgess, Chloe Burgess, Trenton Smith, Cameron Smith, and Greyson Mattern. Robert also leaves behind his siblings: Darlene “Snook” (Robert) Seevers, of North Carolina, Bruce (Stephanie) Smith, of East Liverpool, and Brian (Jen)Smith, of Louisiana. He will also be greatly missed by his good friends, John”Coach” Bryan, and Scotty Lucas.

Along with his parents, Robert was preceded in death by his brother, Richard Smith.
