James "Chandler" Cecil Smith
GREENWOOD - After a courageous battle with Cystic Fibrosis, embraced by God, sur-rounded by the love and presence of his family, Chandler peacefully passed away on June 18, 2002 in Palmetto Richland Hospital. He was 12 years old.
Chandler is survived by his mother, Wendy Smith and foster sister, Ashley Bannerman, both of the home, 2510 Kateway Drive. In addition, he is survived by his grandparents, Cecil and Frances Smith of Greenwood; two uncles, Mady Smith of Greenwood and Chad Smith of San Francisco, CA; and an aunt, Jamie Smith of Columbia.
Chandler attended East End Elementary School, where he was a fifth grade student in Mrs. Gable's class.
Before declining health, Chandler was known to run the neighborhood, visiting all of his friends, trading Pokemon cards, or having a simple chat with the elders.
As Chandler's health declined, he turned more to watching T.V. and acquired quite a collection of videos.
While we are relieved that he no longer has to endure the pain and limitations that were increasingly with him, his death leaves a large hole in many lives and he will be sincerely missed by all who came to know and love him.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at the Harley Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Robert Patton and the Rev. Joseph Ouzts officiating. Burial will be in Oakbrook Memorial Park.
Pallbearers will be Michael Thompson, Greg Murray, Bob Murray, Doug Ferqueron, Jeff Wright and Felton Burton.
Honorary escort will be the teachers, staff and students of East End Elementary School, Rev. George Hill, Dr. Roxanne Marcille, staff of Pediatric Pulmonary Center, Columbia, pediatric nursing staff of Palmetto Richland Hospital, pediatric nurses of Self Regional Medical Center, Sam Strickland, Johnny Chandler, David Dillashaw and Gerri Stewart of the Easter Seals Society of Greenwood.
