Christopher Jearell Goldsmith

Christopher Jearell Goldsmith, 32, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on Saturday, November 12, 2016. Chris was known to family and friends as a respectful, loving son who would do anything for those he cared about. He balanced work as a part-time caterer with close ties to his community and family life, and those who knew him remember him for his warmth and helpful spirit.

Family members planned visitation at Rodgers-Awkard & Lyons Funeral Home, followed by a funeral service and interment at Green Meadows Cemetery. In public remembrances at the time of his passing, loved ones described Christopher as a good son and a soon-to-be father, details that brought both fond memories and grief to those who loved him. His mother, Jacqueline Goldsmith, and other relatives asked for unity in the community and for privacy as they mourned.

Those who wish to honor Christopher’s memory were encouraged to remember the everyday kindnesses that defined him — the ways he supported his family, the care he showed in his work, and the presence he brought to his neighborhood. Christopher’s life was meaningful to those who knew him, and his loss was deeply felt by family and neighbors alike.
