This site is a tribute to Arcellas Wendell Smith, who was born August 2, 1944, to Clarence & Jimmie (Ford) Smith in Shreveport, Louisiana. The family later moved to Los Angeles, Ca where he graduated from Jordon High School and married his high school sweetheart and fathered one daughter Alexis. He worked with his father and brothers in their family-owned construction company for many years as a carpenter.  
Arcellas was a very kind and generous man, who would give the shirt off his back to help others. He had a great sense of humor and an infectious laugh.  He loved God and enjoyed bible study.  He enjoyed his family and always visits.
He loved to collect antiques and relished his collection of museum-like collectibles,
 He was the youngest of 6 brothers. He is survived by his mother Jimmie, his brother Joe, his daughter Alexis,  grandson Kevin, granddaughters Andrea & Alexandria, great-grandson Andre &  great-granddaughter Emerie, and a host of Nieces, Nephews, Cousins, and Friends.  He departed this world on June 26, 2020.
.......He will be greatly missed!
