Grady Smith Obituary, Death – On Thursday, September 21, 2023, Grady Smith Macon, who was 90 years old and from Youngsville, passed away. He is the son of Letha Smith Macon, who predeceased him, and Edwin Grady Macon, who also predeceased him. He was born in Wake County, North Carolina. After completing his high school education at Wake Forest High School, he enlisted in the Army and was assigned to the Battery 496 AAA Battalion as a Corporal.

After that, he completed his study and eventually became a teacher in the auto body repair department at Polk Youth Centre. After that, he became a teacher in the auto body repair department at Wake Forest-Rolesville High School, all the while having his own body shop for decades. In addition to that, he spent the previous two decades contributing to the Westfield Police Department in the capacity of Auxiliary Police Officer.

After finally deciding to retire from teaching, he started a new career by opening a dealership, which he managed for around 30 years before finally having to give it up because of health concerns. Fishing and listening to country music were two of his other favourite pastimes, and he also enjoyed participating in drag racing and watching just about any other type of motor racing. He was the type of person who always wanted to tell a story that was entertaining to others and also enjoyed being entertained by the stories that others told. Mr. Macon is survived by his daughter Cheryl L. Macon, wife Joyce Jeffreys Macon, and brothers Dan and George Macon of Youngsville and Wake Forest. The Macon family has entrusted their care to Bright Funeral Home. The Bright Funeral Home will be hosting a visitation on Tuesday, September 26 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in honour of the deceased. The wake and funeral will be held at the Bright Funeral Home Chapel on Wednesday, September 27 at 9:00 a.m. After the service, the burial will take place at Montlawn Memorial Gardens in Raleigh, North Carolina.
