Reverend Frederick C. Smith On September 14, 2017, went to be with His Heavenly Father. Born September 3, 1941, in Steubenville, Ohio, he graduated from Capital University, Columbus, Ohio in 1964, and Trinity Seminary in 1968. He was ordained as a Lutheran pastor and subsequently entered the U.S. Army as a chaplain in 1971. Chaplain Smith served 20 years, retiring as a Lt. Col in 1991. Upon retirement he served congregations in Luray, VA., Margate, FL, and in 2002, became the Pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in St. Petersburg, FL. Rev. Smith is survived by his wife of 50 years, Donna Runkle Smith and their two sons, Stephen F. Smith (Karla) and Matthew A. Smith (Roxanna); 4 granddaughters, Abigail, Allison, Amelia, and Penelope Smith; and brother-in-law Scott Runkle (Diane) and nieces, Eleanor and Kathryn Cullifer. He is proceeded in death by his parents, George and Clara Maye Smith. Rev. Smith loved his Church, his Country, and his family. He was an avid sports fan, especially for the Tampa Bay Rays, and his sense of humor permeated everything he did. He will be missed, not only by his family and his congregation, but also by those he met and loved along life's journey.
