About Corwin David Smith

Corwin David Smith of Mesa, Arizona, passed away at age 52 on December 13, 2024. He is the 3rd child and only son of David Arthur Smith and Janell Peel Smith.

He graduated from Mesa High School in 1990 and served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Chicago, Illinois. He attended Mesa Community College and had a deep love for music and computer science. He loved the outdoors and worked as a computer support specialist all of his adult life. Corwin married Tici Lynn French in the Mesa Arizona Temple on November 14, 2009. He served faithfully in many church callings throughout his life.

Corwin’s favorite way to serve the Lord was as a cast member in the Mesa Easter Pageant, where he made many long-lasting friendships. He played several different parts over the years, but his favorite part was that of a Roman Soldier. Corwin shared his testimony through his actions. He remained faithful and true to the gospel of Jesus Christ, always willing to help others, and will be remembered for his honesty and integrity.

He is survived by his wife, Tici, his mother Janell, and sisters Anita, Carrie, and Erin. Corwin was welcomed to the other side by his father, David and sister Lanae. We are grateful to know that death is not the end and we will be together again someday.

Funeral services will take place on Friday, December 27, 2024, viewing at 11:00am and funeral at 12:00pm, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1852 N. Stapley Drive, Mesa, AZ 85203.

I knew Corwin first as Elder Smith, nearly thirty years ago. We served together in the spring of 1996 in a small town south of Chicago called New Lenox. We worked hard and had a lot of fun together. While serving there we were fortunate enough to baptize a wonderful lady and her son. They were amazing and we really cherished the fact that we were able to be a part of their conversion. In addition to proselyting, we tended to some service assignments in the community. One of these service assignments was a weekly trip to a rest home. There we would attempt to cheer up the elderly attendees by visiting with them, telling jokes and sharing stories. Sometimes we would just listen. I will never forget how Elder Smith would unhesitatingly, yet gently, take hold of the crippled hands of some of these forgotten elderly ladies and hold them tightly in his hands. He would then listen to them intently, even though the words were often indecipherable. It was one of the kindest acts of charity I have ever witnessed, and I have never forgotten it. He was a great guy and a valiant missionary. I am sorry he is no longer with us, but I am confident he has picked up his full-time missionary mantle again and is blessing the lives of many on the other side of the veil. Our deepest condolences, Scott and Kellee Ivers

Tici and Corwin I have always considered you good friends, though I have not been able to see you in some time. I am so sorry to learn of this loss. Corwin was such a great person. Tici know that I still care and hate the idea of you alone. You still have friends for support in any way we can. Love you lots. My condolences and prayers are with you.
