William Tommy Smith, born on May 13, 1951, in Montgomery, Alabama, passed away peacefully on December 27, 2025, in Elmore, Alabama. He was 74 years old.

William was a man of love and integrity who never met a stranger and always put family first. His warm presence and unwavering dedication to those around him left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Mary Smith; his parents, James Hubert Smith and Estelle Smith; his brother, Danny Smith; and his granddaughter Amanda Smith. Their memories remained close to his heart throughout his life.

William is lovingly remembered by his sister, Veronica Luckie; his children: Scott Smith, Tracy Lee, James Smith, and Crystal Smith; and his daughter-in-law Misty Smith. His legacy continues through his grandchildren: Brandi Smith, Alec Nix, Kaci Stettler, Zach Stettler, Thomas Smith, Loren Smith, Kollin Wochok, Jessica Smith, Hannah Smith and Madison Lee; as well as his great-grandchildren: Elizabeth Smith, Eveylnn Stettler, and Bryson Smith.

His life was a testament to kindness and strength. William's enduring love for family shaped generations and created bonds that will carry forward in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
