Howard Lewis Smith Jr., 74, of Piney Flats, TN, gained his Heavenly wings on Friday, March 13, 2026.
Howard was a devoted family man whose greatest joy in life was his grandchildren, who were truly the pride of his heart. He cherished every moment spent with them, whether it was tending to the garden, playing games like badminton, or simply enjoying the outdoors together.
He had a passion for racing and found peace in camping and being surrounded by nature. Howard also loved working on old cars, a hobby he proudly shared with his sons and grandson, creating lasting memories along the way.
Howard is preceded by his son, Jonathan Wade Smith; his nephew, Joshua Edward Hayes; his parents, Howard & Mildred Smith; and his in-laws, Allen & Clara Simcox.
Those left to cherish Howard's memory are his wife of 53 years, Ivy Smith; his sons, Matthew Smith (Laura) and Wesley Smith; his granddaughters, Amber Smith and Kaylee Smith; his grandson, Ashton Smith; his bonus granddaughter, Elizabeth Guinn (Nicholas); his bonus great-grandson, Hugo Guinn; his sisters, Jody Hayes & Becky Chapman (Donnie); his brother, Tom Smith (Karen); as well as several nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, and in-laws.
