Summary
Jeff Cawthorn, beloved owner of The Lip Stick Pig BBQ and a pillar of Smithville for six years, passed away at 59 — leaving behind a community heartbroken not just by the loss of a great businessman, but of a man whose generosity touched countless lives. Known for his deep commitment to helping others — especially after Jeania’s own childhood struggles with hunger — Jeff turned compassion into action. Neighbors like Michael Saylors call him a true friend and neighbor, and as the future of the BBQ spot hangs in the balance, Jeania leans on an outpouring of community love. His funeral is Friday — a day the town will gather to honor a man who didn’t just serve ribs, but served people.
