Billy John Smith

Billy (John) Edward Smith was born on November 17, 1962, into a house full of sisters. He passed away on November 6, 2026 surrounded by family who loved him dearly.

John was an honest man who carried himself with high standards and believed in setting an example for his family. He loved his family deeply and took great pride in the people he loved. He enjoyed fishing, eating crab cakes and fresh oysters – which his sister always brought him – and especially visiting the Outer Banks of North Carolina, his favorite place in the world.

John had a Christian faith, and he knew exactly where his eternal home was. On November 6, his soul was set free and he now abides in his heavenly home. He will be dearly missed by all who had the blessing of knowing him here on earth.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Nancy Smith; and his son, Jonathan Smith. He is survived by his loving wife, Sandy Smith; his daughter, Tamantha and son-in-law, Kevin; his son, Josh Smith and daughter-in-law, CJ; his daughter, Jessie and son-in-law, Robbie; and his son, Paul and daughter-in-law, Cassie; his sisters, Dana (Alan Reese) Smith, Jenny (Wayne) Woodard, and Connie (Chuck) Dodgen; brother-in-law, Randy Shaver; and sister-in-law, Tammy and Tommy Woody.

John dearly loved his grandchildren, nephews, great-nephews, and great-great-nephews. They brought him tremendous pride, happiness, and smiles right up to the very end. He leaves behind a family who loved him beyond words and memories that will be treasured forever.
