Mr. Smokes was a kind, and generous man, and he welcomed me with love and warmth. He emanated a quiet strength and I have the utmost respect for him. I pray your memories of your wonderful Dad will comfort you in the months and years ahead. May God give you peace that only He can. May you find solace in knowing your Dad is finding eternal rest with our Savior. 🙏🏾

Darlene and Chandra I am saddened by the loss of your dad. No words can express the sorrow of losing someone you both loved so dearly. We will all miss him as he was also a dad to me and a tremendous grandfather to his young men. May God comfort you both as well as the Smokes Family. Dad Smokes will surely be missed by us all.

Chandra and Darlene, there are no words that can truly ease the pain of losing a parent, but please know I'm holding you in my heart. I hope you find comfort in the love and memories you shared with your father.

Wishing you peace and comfort in the days ahead❤️

One of my fondest memories was going out on visitation with Daniel while at Open Bible Baptist Church in Valdosta. We also supported Military services on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. It is very fitting that his service ended on Memorial Day. To a very good man, with my deepest sympathy from our family to yours.

The Final Hail and Farewell By MSgt (Ret) William "Bill" Cordes

Attention to orders I thought I heard someone say

To welcome this veteran Who has joined us today

Row upon row of stones stand tall

Marking earlier members Who had answered the call

On farms and in cities They grew up fit

They had a job to do And they did it

The silence was broken As the procession went by

Stopping in place Where the hero will lie

The flag was folded And I felt a great pride

Believing those here Welcomed another to their side

Unknowns will thank you And I pray you were blessed

Now join fellow warriors Who have gave us their best

And oh the stories They will tell

There at your final Hail and Farewell

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Daniel, we will miss you so much. Billy will sure miss your weekly calls and all those visits to the Cracker Barrel. You were a great friend. Rest easy. We are praying for all of your family.

Dearest Merlaine, I know how ardently you honored the time God gave you with Daniel and I know how well and wisely you cherished it. I pray you have peace in this transition and there's a sweetness in all your remembrance. You have loved and been loved so very well.

Chandra & family please know you have our deepest condolences and that you're in our many thoughts and prayers! We know how much you adored and loved your dad and while you'll miss him, we thank God for a life well lived and well loved. May he rest now in sweet peace!

Oh, what a wonderful man! Years ago, my husband and I met sweet Daniel, as he was a faithful worshipper at Wednesday night Prayer Meetings in the Chapel. He was always so kind and filled with humility. I will cherish his warm handshake and sweet caring smile. Written with love.

I am praying for you and your family as you grieve the loss of Daniel and celebrate his life. Praying for peace and comfort and joy that comes in the morning! I knew him from afar as I sang in the choir at Ingleside Baptist. I have watched him worship with our friend Merlaine over the years. He was a faithful worshipper.

Blessings, Cindy Wilson

To the Smokes Family, it has been such a pleasure getting to love Daniel and all the wisdom he shared with my family over the years. I will cherish every memory. Jesus has called His son back home and Daniel is giving Him glory in Heaven. May you be comforted with peace during this season. Love always, Lannda, Jefanda Brandon, Boris

Darlene, Chandra and Family, Eric, The Herring's and myself continue to hold you in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to all the family during this difficult time. Praying for comfort and peace!

Services at Ingleside won't be the same without Daniel's smiling face. Looked forward to shaking his hand and involving in conversation every week.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
