Kareem Smith Obituary
Life Reflections
Kareem A. Smith was born on May 24, 1977, to Addonis and Doreen Smith in Trenton, New Jersey. He transitioned from life to eternity on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at home.
Kareem was educated in the Trenton and Princeton School Systems. He was employed by the United Parcel Service for over 10 years and in recent years held various positions through temporary employment agencies.
Kareem loved hanging out with his family and friends, playing video games, and watching his beloved Eagles. He loved making people feel better through laughter. He had an extremely generous heart. If there was anything he could do to help a person, he would. He loved music. K-Bone will truly be missed!
He was predeceased by his wife of 13 years, JoAnn S. Palmer, his maternal grandparents James and Bernice Jones, paternal grandmother Betty Smith, his parents Addonis and Doreen Smith, and brother Addonis Jones.
He is survived by three bonus daughters, Aliyah Harris, Bryana Harris, Jazonni Robison, one sister Bernice Jones, two brothers Michael Smith and Rasheed Williams, several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and a slew of friends.
