“Going Home: A Tribute to David Nathaniel Smith”
“Going Home: A Tribute to David Nathaniel Smith”
Description:
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Buckle Up Podcast, actor and host Brandon Rush shares the heartfelt eulogy he delivered for his father, David Nathaniel Smith, a beloved coach, mentor, and community leader.
David Nathaniel Smith was a man who wore many hats — a dedicated father, a coach who shaped the lives of countless young men, and a pillar of strength and wisdom in his community. His passing was honored with two homegoing services, one in Virginia and another in South Carolina, each filled with love, memories, and gratitude for the impact he made.
Brandon reflects on his father’s extraordinary legacy, the lessons he taught both on and off the field, and the quiet ways he uplifted those around him. Through stories of family, mentorship, and faith, this episode honors a life well-lived and a man well-loved.
Join us for this intimate tribute to a father’s love, a coach’s influence, and a leader’s enduring legacy.
“Going Home” is more than a farewell — it’s a celebration of a life that continues to inspire.”
“We didn’t know it all— we learned with love, led with kindness, and earned our way to the top.”
