Mr. Brakki Smith Obituary

Brakki l Smith, 61, fought his last fight on March 25, 2021. He was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi on January 1, 1960. He is survived by his 5 children: Joseph, Deshawna, Zabrasha, Zakiya , Zahlihah, and 5 brothers, Rickey, Marlon, Bryant, Curtis and John. Brakki worked as a chef and was passionate about cooking. To him it was an expression of love.

Brakki had a larger than life personality, and fought with all he had, in all that he did. He believed that anything was possible with hard work. He had an infectious laugh, charming smile, and loved with all his heart. He was a fan of the Wild West, Bruce lee, and wrestling. He always knew what to say. He was paitent and for giving, and stubborn as a bull; He knew how he liked his barbecue, and no one could tell him differently. He loved his children and grandchildren, and you could catch him napping with them at his side or playing hide and seek around the house.

He loved he women in his life, and he protected them from any sign of harm. He even walked on the outside of us in parking lots- .. whoever said chivalry was dead never met this man. He was never afraid of a fight, and always went through situations swinging with everything he had. He was loved by anyone and everyone who met him he will always he missed but more importanly Ioved. Please keep the family in your prayers arrangements pending at this time.
