Knoxville lawyer David Edwards Smith died Sept. 3 at the age of 86. After serving in the Navy, Smith graduated from the University of Florida and earned his law degree from the University of Tennessee College of Law. He first practiced as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office and then became a partner in Hodges, Doughty and Carson, where he practiced until his retirement.
