Tommy Joe Smith

Services for Mr. Tommy Joe Smith of Brookhaven are Wednesday, July 10, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at Riverwood Family and visitation from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service and burial at New Sight Cemetery.

Mr. Tommy Joe Smith, 76, passed away on July 6, 2024, at his home in Brookhaven.

He was born on July 21, 1947, to the late Holon Smith and Grace Allen Smith.

Mr. Tommy was a logger until retirement. He was a member of Clear Branch Baptist Church. He loved being outside and “piddlin” in his workshop and mowing his yard. Most of all he loved his family and grandchildren.

He will be remembered for his kind, generous, and humble spirit.

Preceding him in death are his parents, his son, Justin Smith, and his brother, Jerry Smith.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of 36 years, Janice Mullen Smith, children; John Smith and wife, Kelly, Tracey Edwards and husband, Tim, Tracey Howell and husband, Jay, and sister, Barbara Watts; along with his 12 grandchildren, Ainsley White (Doug), Shelby Bandy (Jason), Joey Smith, Halley Smith, Bennett Case, Suzanna Smith, Tansley Case, Landon Howell, Nathan Howell, Hayden Howell,  Palyn Smith and Evie Smith and their parents, Amy and Chris Smith; and his five great-grandchildren, Addison White, Amery White, Merritt White, Mary Michael Bandy, and Molly Grace Bandy.

He will be missed by all who loved him.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Enhabit Hospice for their compassion and care during this time, we deeply appreciate it.

Memorials can be made to the New Sight Baptist Church Cemetery Fund.
