It is with deep sorrow and much love that we announce the passing of Carvis J. Smith, a cherished resident of Bolingbroke, GA. Carvis passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at the age of 90.

Born on a crisp Wednesday, March 4, 1936, Carvis was a beacon of strength and kindness throughout his life. He was preceded in death by his beloved father, James Buford Smith; his dear mother, Ella Mae Smith; his cherished spouse, Roberta Smith; his infant daughter, Patricia Smith; his son-in-law, Harold Richland; and his sisters, Marie Nelson and Judy Harris.

Carvis is survived by his devoted daughters, Debbie S. (Billy) Day of Bolingbroke, GA, and Donna Richland of Forsyth, GA.

Carvis dedicated many years of hard work as a Maintenance employee at Armstrong World Industries. Outside of his professional life, he found joy in farming, operating a produce stand at his former home in Byron Georgia, and indulging in his passions for fishing, hunting, watching westerns, NASCAR, professional wrestling, and cheering for the Georgia Bulldogs. Carvis also found joy worshipping his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as a member of the Byron Baptist Church Family.
