Obituary of Rodger Harold Smith

SMITH, Rodger Peacefully in his home, Rodger passed away on Wednesday, August 10, 2016, at the age of 59. He will be forever loved by his wife of 28 years, Jo-Ann. Loving father of Shannon Smith (Angel Prez), Daryl and Daniel. Beloved son of Ethel (Henry) Rowan. Rodger will be greatly missed by his extended family and friends. Rodger professionally installed windows and worked for Standard Auto Glass. He will be remembered for his love of eagles and cars. His favourite pastime usually involved building cars or going to car shows but his absolute favourite moments were the times spent with his family and friends. Although through the years Rodger was often quiet and dealt with many health issues, he enjoyed his “Timmies clan” and the times spent on his daily coffee social-outings. On behalf of our family we would like to thank our dad’s friends for their friendship and care given to him. Rodger may have had a tough exterior but on the inside he was gentle, caring and would never let you down. Rodger’s family will receive family and friends at the GEORGE DARTE FUNERAL CHAPEL, 585 Carlton Street, St. Catharines on Monday, August 15, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Following visitation, a Celebration of Rodger’s Life will be held in the funeral home chapel at 12 p.m., with burial to follow after at Victoria Lawn Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, the Smith family would appreciate if guests would share memories and bring in photos, of Rodger.
