Thomas Smith Obituary
Tom was born on April 12th, 1964 to Joseph Patrick Smith Jr. and Marianne Anita (Faria) Smith in Brooklyn, NY. His family relocated to Phoenix, AZ, where he made many lasting memories with friends and family.
Tom enjoyed life. He loved music, sports, socializing, and good food. A lover of basketball, Tom held various coaching positions throughout his life. At home, he was often found reading a book or listening to sports radio.
Anyone who knew Tom knew that he was always willing to help friends and family. Tom was a loving person. He was unendingly proud and supportive of his children.
May He Rest In Peace
Tom was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by the following; three children, Maria, Robert, and Patrick; one granddaughter, Maelle; and his former wife and mother of his children, Andrea. Also surviving are his siblings, Joseph and Marianne, and many extended family and friends.
The family requests that all notes are sent to 129 Oregon Trail, Martinsburg, WV 25403.
For those who would like to support the family at this time, there is a GoFundMe page https://gofund.me/d76801d7 to cover funeral expenses.
A memorial service will be held later at the convenience of the family.

So sorry to read this. I had seen my cousin when he was a little boy and recently reconnected with him on Facebook. While he did not remember me, I remembered what a cute little boy he was! To the family, I extend my condolences.

Lorraine, Thank you so much for sharing this memory!! I had forgotten this story but Tom had loved being your ring bearer. He told me he loved being dressed up in his little tuxedo. He may have had a photo as well. I seem to recall seeing. Our youngest son Patrick was a ring bearer in a cousin´s wedding about the same age Tom would have been. Patrick loved his fancy tuxedo. Tom really loved tuxedos. I guess you gave him his start wearing one!! Thanks for reaching out and this memory! Much love, Andréa
