Antonio Raynondez

Smith

Mr. Antonio Raynondez Smith was born on January 24, 1978, to Walter Clarence and Jeanette Smith Colquitt in Thomaston Upson County, Georgia. A life well lived, a life well respected, a  life well loved. A loving gentle, sharing and compassionate young man. Loved and cared for and respected his parents his aunts, cousins, and his cousins children he viewed as his own, his friends and his Meansville community. Tubby did not brag or boast about what he had or didn't have. He exhibited humility and integrity in his community and on the job. As he heard about a child in his work environment in need of shoes. He exemplified the actions of Christ, "Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed". TUBBY purchased a pair of shoes and presented them with a smile.

Three weeks ago, the earthly tabernacle of TUBBY's dwellings became discomforted, he became ill and his body was no longer conducive to live at his physical address. We are all aware that God knows best. The Lord came to redeem the property a few days ago. But we stand assured that earth holds no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert (Emily) Colquitt, and Mr. and Mrs. James (Fannie Pearl) Colquitt. His sister, Jasmine T. Colquitt, several aunts and uncles, and close cousins.

Tubby leaves to cherish his memory his loving and devoted parents, Walter Clarence and Jeanette Colquitt of Meansville; brother, Jamayain Mays; aunts, Patricia Smith, Emily Colquitt, Vickie McCoy, Kate Flemister, and Darlene Colquitt; uncles, Steve Smith , Gilbert (Billy) Colquitt, Nathaniel Colquitt, Robert Walker, and Freddie Milner; children he loved as his own, Kyleigh Williams, Kinslee Banks, Jordan Banks, and Journi Mays; special friends, Shonta Mahone, Don Beckham, and James Holloway; special cousins, Rex Colquitt, Roger Colquitt, Sr., Marcus Flemister, and Colton Askew.
