In loving memory of David Edward Smith who sadly passed away on 9th March 2026
David died peacefully, at the age of 76 surrounded by his family after a long illness and gruelling treatment, which he fought with remarkable courage and fortitude. We miss him very much.

The funeral service will take place at St Thomas of Canterbury Church, Blenheim rd, Deal CT147DB.
A shorter service will take place at 1pm (approx) at Barham Crematorium. This will be also be streamed to the Barn at the the Crown Inn, Finglesham for those who would prefer to head straight there after the service in Deal.
Food will be served from 2pm, when we, his family, are looking forward to celebrating David's life with you, and enjoy listening to your memories of him, and the music he so loved.

I celebrate David's love of the natural world and his garden was magnificent when he showed us around it. He was hospitable and fun and will be sadly missed.
