Douglas C. Smith, 72, of Marysville, died Thursday, Feb. 14, 2019, at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, surrounded by his family.
A 1964 graduate of Piqua High School, he served his country in the U.S. Army in Vietnam. He was the owner and operator of Marysville Dental Ceramics for many years and enjoyed rides on his motorcycle when he could find time. His greatest joy came from attending any and all of his son’s sports events and activities. He also loved to spend time with his “four-legged children,” his beloved dogs.
He was born Oct. 22, 1946, in Piqua, to the late Augustus and Mary (Sherman) Smith.
He is survived by his wife of nearly 42 years, Karen (White) Smith, whom he married July 31, 1977, in Columbus; sons, Brian Smith of Marysville and Matthew (Jessica) Smith of Germany; and grandchildren, Gavin, Khloe, Olivia, Scarlett and Lucas Smith.
Friends may call from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday at Wilson Funeral Home, Mannasmith Chapel. Burial will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Union County Humane Society.
