Henry Smith, Jr., better known as “Boy Rock”, age 74, 828-A, T. E. Moone Street, Montezuma, Georgia passed Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at the Medical Center, Macon, Georgia.

The funeral service will be conducted at 11:00 A.M., Saturday, October 6, 2012 at the Zion Hill Baptist Church, Willie James Road, Montezuma, Georgia. Burial will follow in the Church cemetery.

Mr. Smith was born September 21, 1938 in Montezuma, Macon Co., Georgia to the late Henry Smith, Sr. and Essie Mae Preston Smith. He was preceded in death by nine siblings, Annie Ruth Barnes, James Smith, Essie Mae Smith, Ethel Mae Smith, Ailene Smith, Willie Henry Smith, Willie Mae Smith, Margie Smith Cooper and Lucy Mae Smith Jenkins. He acquired his education in the public school system of Macon County.

After many years of dedicated services he retired from Mass Stock as a heavy equipment operator in 2005. At an early age he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and joined the band of Christian believers at the Zion Hill Baptist Church.

He was united in holy matrimony to the former Jannie Mae Williams, and he was the proud father of four children – his daughter, Cynthia Smith, preceded him in death.

“Boy Rock,” as loved ones and friends affectionately called him, enjoyed his cup of coffee and breakfast with the boys at Troy’s Snack Shack.

He leaves a legacy of love and memories to his beloved family which include his wife, Jannie Mae Smith, Montezuma, Georgia; three children, Willie Gene Smith, Atlanta, Georgia, Roy Smith (Pearlie), Oglethorpe, Georgia and Gwendolyn Smith, Richmond, Virginia; eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren; six siblings, Lucille Cullers (Johnny), Miami, Florida, Emmitt Smith (Annette), Merlene Smith, Christine Hinton all of Montezuma, Georgia, Pearlene Harvey (Rev. Willie Gene) Rochester, New York, Herman Smith, Byromville, Georgia; Cleon Harry, Vinandle, New Jersey, Maggie Horsley and Paulene Hosley both of Elmira, New york; sisters-in-law and brother-in-law, Mary Ann Joiner, Betty Ann Williams, Bessie Lee Williams and Mildred Johnson (John), Oglethorpe, Georgia; a host of beloved nieces and nephews including one devoted, Michelle Smith; and a host of other relatives and friends.
