Jay Smith Obituary

With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Jay Smith of Kingsport, Tennessee, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Jay left this world on September 12, 2025 at the age of 92, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid Jay farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Jay is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his wife Ottry Vermillion Smith; and his grandson Joshua Wells. He is survived by: his children, Lisa Smith and Lee Smith (Bonnie); his granddaughter Brittany Wells; his great grandchild Kelsie; and his sister Joan Nichols.
