Elvis Quentin Smith

Elvis Quentin Smith left this earthly home on April 1, 2026, for his heavenly home. He was 50 years old and was a beloved father, brother, son, grandson, nephew, cousin, uncle, and friend. He was known to family as Quentin, but classmates and adult friends called him Elvis. He leaves a 17 year old son, Jordan Kyle Smith (of Albemarle), a half brother, Westley Thomas Beachum (of Norwood), and 4 step siblings; Benjamin (Angie) Beachum, Debra Beachum, Joy Beachum, and James Beachum. He also leaves 6 aunts and 2 uncles, many cousins, nieces, and nephews. Also left is his beloved pet dog “Brody”(his mother’s pet until her passing in 2022). He
always said that he loved Brody so much because Brody was a part he had left of his Mom.

Preceded in death: His mother Dale Smith Beachum (Dec. 2022), his grandmother Faye Smith (July 2004), grandfather Vaughn Smith, 3 aunts, and a twin brother who died during childbirth. He was born September 1975 at (then) Charlotte Memorial Hospital, and was a twin, but his twin brother died during a premature and complicated childbirth. After high school at South Stanly, he later worked 15 years at Atrium Health Stanly Memorial Hospital in Albemarle beginning in the Dietary Department, and then as an Xray Transporter. His co-workers always commented on how friendly and pleasant he was to work with and how much they loved him. More recently he worked as a delivery driver for Amazon and Walmart.

His marriage (to April) produced a son, Jordan Kyle Smith, who he loved dearly. He always bragged of how hard Jordan worked and how well he did in school. He was so proud when Jordan got his driver’s permit, his license in 2025, and began working while still in high school. Quentin was saved and baptized as a young boy, and was covered by the Blood of Jesus, God’s Love, and God’s Tender Mercy. The family is grateful for all the thoughts, prayers, phone calls and condolences. Thank you for the care and kindness to his family and friends.

A memorial service: Thursday, April 16, 2026, 1-2pm, Freedom Holiness Church, 20244 US-52, Albemarle, NC 40383. (To honor: plant a tree, or light a candle)
