Michael “Jerome” Smith, born to Pastor Michael W. King and Marsha Smith on December 10, 197 He was a member of New London Primitive Baptist Church. Baptized at an early age. Graduated from South Stokes High School. He served in the United States Navy. Jerome was a very passionate fitness trainer. He absolutely love the gym. That is where you could always find him. He had a sense of humor like no other. He just didn't tolerate the “oke doke”. You had to come correct, or he would correct you if you were wrong. He was always writing the vision for the future, food plans, He was a true believer in the Lord. His favorite scriptures were Psalms 91, and Psalms 23. He absolutely lived by the word. He undeniably loved his children; He is guarded by many angels that were there to welcome him home. He ran the race and stood the course. He will be affectionally missed by many. To know him was to love him.
