Antoine Lamont "Paris" Smith Sr.

Antoine "Paris" Lamont Smith, Sr., age 52, of Pittsburgh, PA, passed away peacefully on May 18, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with illness.

Born on May 8, 1973, Antoine was the beloved son of Otis "Ories" Lee Smith and the late Faith S. Smith. He was the eldest of 3 children. He was the true definition of, "can't hold a good man down." He will be remembered for his courage, strength, resilience, determination, grit and generous spirit. Antoine lived life on his own terms and was truly a "jack of all trades." A proud entrepreneur, he ran a successful mobile auto detailing business Riggz -N- Whipz amongst many others including Pickles on the Side and Smith Development. He was always working, always moving-committed to providing for his family. Whether lending a hand to a neighbor or using his skills to support a friend, Antoine was someone you could count on.

Antoine was proceeded in death by his grandparents, Frank and Hattie Mae Hill, his mother, Faith S. Smith, his uncles, Herman Carl Hill, Kevin Woods, Edward Burgess, Ronald Hill, Frank Hill, Jerry Hill and his aunts Blanche Glenn and Judy Williams. He is survived by his childhood girlfriend and former wife Taneesha "Nicci" Smith (McFadden) and their loving children Antoine Lamont Smith, Jr., Ories Rashaud Smith, and his baby girl Autumn Rhyne Smith; his devoted and long-time partner Jimmese Taylor Lane and their son Jadarius Ethan Taylor-Smith and stepson James Taylor-Lane; his brothers, Harvey Rashea Smith and Ories Ricardo Smith; nephew Ories Lee Smith and niece Aryiana Smith. Antoine was also a proud and cherished grandfather to O'Riyah Smith, Legend Smith, Navi and Nova Smith. He also leaves behind a host of cousins and friends. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched.

A Celebration of Life will be held later to honor Antoine's memory. Arrangements were entrusted to Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care, Robinson Township, PA.
