Stephan Cornal Smith was born August 16, 1961 in Middleburg, Virginia to Ethel Stewart Smith and the late William Nathaniel Smith.  Stephan passed away peacefully in his sleep the morning of April 14, 2024 at Evergreen Health & Rehabilitation Center in Winchester, Virginia.

He attended Loudoun County and Fauquier County Public Schools.

At an early age, he began working in lawn care with his grandfather, the late Colonel Knot Brooks. Together they maintained the lawns of dozens of clients in Loudoun and Fauquier Counties. He also worked for Oak Hill Properties in Round Hill, Virginia completing punch out inspections for newly constructed homes.  In addition, he worked as a stable hand at various farms in the area.

Stephan accepted Christ at an early age and was a lifelong member of the Wiilisville Chapel United Methodist Church until his death. It was evident in his final days that he knew that the Lord was his strength.

Stephan enjoyed hunting, fishing and pitching horseshoes with family and friends.  He looked forward to the annual Smith Family Reunion, in Macsville, every third Saturday in August, which always fell close to his birthday. He especially liked watching westerns, horse races, the Andy Griffith show and Wheel of Fortune on TV.  He also enjoyed muscle cars and going to the mountains in the Fall.  Stephan loved to be around family and friends, reminiscing about the good old days.  He enjoyed taking afternoon rides 'around the block'.  He loved the Dallas Cowboys!  He loved life and lived it to its fullest.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his mother, Ethel Stewart Smith, Uppervile, VA;  his son, Stephan Cornal Smith, Jr. (Christina), Fayetteville, NC; five grandchildren, Alejandro, Charlye, Nelson, Abigail, & Gabriel; three sisters, Lottie Payne, Natalie Smith, Nannie Lewis(Jerry), all of Upperville, VA and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
