Obituary

Jim D. Smith, D.D.S. passed peacefully into the arms of our loving
Jesus on Saturday, November 28, 2020 at the age of 68. He was born
on January 12, 1952 as the firstborn of Orval and Doris Smith of
Kingfisher .

Jim graduated from Kingfisher High School and went on to get his
pre-dentistry degree at Oklahoma State University in 1970. He was
accepted to Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, Texas at the end of
his junior year at Oklahoma State University. He married Vicki Voskuhl
in 1973. After graduation in 1976, he joined the practice of Dr. Don S.
Robison until his retirement in 2015 regrettably due to his health.

Jim struggled with severe Crohn's disease for most of his life. He
was first diagnosed with it while in dental school in 1974. He had
multiple surgeries to help alleviate some of his issues but his life was
full of ups and downs with his health.

He has two sons, Jeff and Kevin. He loved attending and being
involved in their sports activities. He really enjoyed coaching both
boys soccer teams throughout the years. Regardless of his poor
health he was dedicated to attend and enjoy every event that he
could.

After Jim's retirement in 2015 he and Vicki moved to Edmond to be
closer to their granddaughters. There was not a school event or game
that he would miss due to his health. He cherished watching them
grow up. He was so proud of his sons for raising their daughters in
the Christian faith.

Jim is survived by his wife, Vicki of Edmond and his son, Jeff and
wife Jamey and daughters Kaitlyn, Kamryn, and Kenzi of Edmond,
