He is lovingly remembered and survived by his three brothers, Ralph Smith, Terry Smith, and Myron Smith, as well as his sister, Regina Rumage. Children, Jeremy Smith and Andrea Hayes. One grandson, Lincoln Smith.

His passing marks the end of a chapter filled with memorable moments. Johnny Walker Smith will be remembered for his lively spirit, his dedication to those he loved, and his enduring enjoyment of life’s many gifts.
