Darren Smith

Darren Lee Smith, born on February 17, 1976, in Batesville, Mississippi, passed away on April 25, 2025, at his home in Butte, Montana. He was 49 years old.

Darren was known for his love of the great outdoors-whether it was fishing or hunting, he found peace and joy in nature. He worked as a drywall finisher by trade and had spent the last several years in Bozeman, Montana, where he proudly earned his contractor's license.

He leaves behind his loving mother, Florence Marie Smith, and two brothers, Randy and Michael Smith, all of Water Valley. His sister, Christy (Glen) Callahan, along with his nephew, Macon, and niece, Jordan Callahan from Oxford, also mourns his passing. Darren is also survived by his daughter, Averie (Tyler) Curvin, and his granddaughter, Magnolia Curvin.

Darren was preceded in death by his father, William Sammy Smith of Water Valley.

A graveside service will be held on May 31, 2025, at Yellow Leaf Cemetery in Oxford, Mississippi, at 11:00 AM. Family and friends are invited to join in celebrating Darren's life and the memories shared. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

The staff at Seven Oaks Funeral Home is honored to have served the Smith family during this difficult time.
