August 28, 1949 – October 5, 2022

Charles Phillip Smith, long-time resident of Highland, AR, passed away on October 5th, 2022. He was 73 years old.

To Charles (aka Chuck, Charlie, Love Light Charley), life was about experiencing and learning new things and passing on his knowledge and experience to others. He was an explorer, a joker, a philosopher, an avid numerologist, and an unapologetic breaker of rules. He was also a professional “Tree Surgeon,” with his company, Chuck-N-Saw, providing tree service to many in Cherokee Village and surrounding areas. Above all, Charlie was a Seeker of Truth, Love and Light. He will be missed.

Charles was preceded in death by his father, Arnie, his mother, Jocie, and his two sisters, Linda and Carol. He is survived by his six children and seven grandchildren, Darsey (Elan, Evie), Tarin (Hallie, Vivian, Marla), Fawn, Joel, Callie (Kaida, Linley) and Brianne, as well as his brothers, Gilbert, Will, Joel, Jon and their families.
