 Richard Edward Smotherman, III, known to friends and family as “Rick,” lost his courageous battle with colon cancer on September 28, 2018, at the age of 52.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Rotary International.

  Born Feb 27, 1966, in Nashville, TN, he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, and friend.  Rick enjoyed attending sporting events and was a UT Vols fan.  He was an avid baseball card collector.  His passions were refereeing basketball, volleyball, and umpiring softball.  Rick was involved in many organizations in his community including the High Noon Rotary Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, MTBOA, MTVA, Softball Assn, and SDCBL.  Rick had a special place in his heart for youth; he loved teaching Sunday School, coaching, and mentoring.  He loved to travel and attend Broadway shows and was a lover of Rock and Roll music.  Rick was loved and will be missed by all who knew him.

 Rick is survived by his wife, Amber; daughters, Jenna Roberts (Brad) of Burns, TN, Courtney Bradford (Joel) of Chattanooga, TN, Jessica Smotherman of Dickson, TN; two grandchildren, Olive Pate Roberts and Deklan Rich Bradford; his mother, Sandra Smotherman of Nashville, TN; and brother, Raymond Smotherman (Brenda) of Smyrna, TN. 

 He was preceded in death by father, Richard Edward Smotherman, Jr.

 The family would like to extend a special thank you to Rick’s employer, Bank of Dickson, for the many acts of kindness shown to them during Rick’s illness.
