Arthur Lee Smart, Jr. was born in Navasota, TX to Arthur Lee Smart, Sr. and Etta Mae Smart. He attended Navasota High School, Upward Bound, graduating from Prairie View A&M in 1974, before joining the U.S. Navy in 1974. He later worked for the Boeing Company as a buyer of model 757s, before retiring from the U.S. Post Office in 2013. Arthur married Dorceia Smart (nee Johnson), and to this union two sons were born, Khary and Caleb. He was steadfast in his faith in the Lord and spent many hours studying his bible. This is a handwritten passage from Arthur's bible: "Studying can be helpful for the late starter - PSALMS through PROVERBS." Arthur is preceded in death by his father, uncles, aunts, and mother-in-law, all of whom he loved dearly. He is survived by his family: Dorceia, sons Khary (expecting) and Caleb; grandchildren Aidin and Summer; his mother; sisters Helen, Shirley, and Robbie; uncles and aunts , neices , nephews and many other relatives and close friends from Navasota, Seattle, Houston, Maryland, Austin, and finally Pflugerville, his last resting place. Art, our sons and grandchildren and I will love and miss you forever.
