Charles Wayne Smallwood

Charles Wayne Smallwood, age 72, was carried by the angels to his heavenly reward on Saturday, September 10, 2022 at his Mt. Sterling, Kentucky home.  He was born November 20, 1949 in Mt. Sterling to the late James Monroe (J.M.) and Loreba Rogers Smallwood of Rosslyn, Kentucky.  He was loved for his deep faith, biblical knowledge, true grit, playful sense of humor, and generous distribution of peanut butter roll.  Sometimes his children teasingly called him “Quinn”. He was a 1967 graduate of Powell County High School and a 1971 graduate of Morehead State University, with a degree in Agribusiness.  His passion was farming until his health would no longer allow.  He retired as a factory employee from Rockwell International and was a dedicated Christian family man who served as a deacon at Stanton church of Christ and Queen Street church of Christ, an elder at Fairfax church of Christ in Winchester, and an elder at Rolling Hills church of Christ in Mt. Sterling for 10 years.  His wish would be for all of his family and friends to be saved.  He is survived by his wife, Debbie Lacy Smallwood; two daughters: Monica (Lane) Mynk of Winchester, and Micki (Joseph) Clark of Madisonville; one son, Nicolas (Lindsay) Smallwood of Richmond and one brother, Dennis (Mary) Gene Smallwood of Haverhill, MA.  Charles was a beloved Papaw Charlie to seven grandchildren: Matthew and Dana Mynk and Austin Rice of Winchester; Cameron, Colton, and Carson Clark of Madisonville and Lucy Smallwood of Richmond. Visitation will be held from 6:00 P.M. until 9:00 PM on Thursday, September 15, 2022 at Rolling Hills church of Christ, 125 Rolling Hills Drive, Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.  The funeral will be at 11:00 A.M. Friday, September 16, 2022 at Rolling Hills church of Christ and will be officiated by Dan Murphy.  Burial will be in Stanton Cemetery with Cameron Clark, Colton Clark, Joseph Clark, Lane Mynk, Nicolas Smallwood, Matthew Mynk, Austin Rice and Darrell Lacy serving as pallbearers. Honorary pallbearers will be Rosslyn Friends, his first cousins, and those who served as an elder with him. In Lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Rolling Hills church of Christ with “Churches of Christ Disaster Relief” noted on the check. Hearne Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements.
