In the early morning of May 12, 2024, our beloved Monty Smith received his heavenly reward at his home surrounded by family and friends. Born on November 20, 1962, “Big Daddy” captured the essence of a gentle giant with a big heart. Like the beach he so loved, he brought a sense of peace to our souls just by being in his presence.
He was a faithful servant of the Lord, whose love of God and others was evidenced by his compassion, kindness, and generosity. Monty and his family were former members of the Whitehouse Church of Christ. More recently, he attended Lindale Church of Christ until his health declined. He dedicated 41 years to Brookshire Grocery Company and was known for his strong work ethic, dedication, and commitment to his coworkers whom he considered extended family.
Monty was preceded in death by his parents A.J. Smith and Martha Kay Smith. Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of 31 years, Nicole Smith, his children, Brittany and Jason Davis, Michael and Erin Smith, and Cameron and Stephanie Smith. His six beautiful ‘grands’ Carter and Connor Davis, Levi Smith, Aubrey Howard, Zoe Howard, and our caboose, Lizzie Smith. His sister Kelly Smith and many much –loved aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
His greatest joy came from being a loving husband, father, grandfather, and beloved friend. His legacy will live on in all the lives he touched through his selfless acts of kindness.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, May 16th from 5:00-7:00 PM at Lloyd James Funeral Home with a memorial service to follow on Friday, May 17th at 2:00 PM.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to your favorite charity or share an act of kindness with a stranger. Above all, love God, and take time to be present and make memories with those you love.
As our sweet ‘Big Daddy’ would say, “who loves you babe!”
