With heavy hearts our family is mourning the sudden passing of a great man, a patriarch of our family. William James Smith, "Bill" was truly loved by so very many. His love of family, especially his wife Debbie, his children, grandchildren and numerous neices and nephews was limitless. He was an amazing musician and loved the music scene of all genres and style. He will be truly missed by many.

Our family is aware of how many of these accounts are set up every day, there are a ton. But in light of his sudden passing the family is asking for your help. Anything can really help with the expenses his wife is set to endure in the coming weeks. Bill was a wonderful provider for his family and handled the financial part of the household, as Debbie handled the love and nurturing of the home.

We all would like to think we can prepare for such an event, but in reality you cannot. Not only emotionally but financially as well. The cost of sending Uncle Bill to that big band in the sky are adding up. Not to mention the stability of his family during this time. Anything that you may possibly give to help would be greatly appreciated by the family at this time so we can send him off in a proper and deserving manner as well as help Aunt Debbie continue to hold together a household during this time. I absolutely cannot imagine losing my spouse so suddenly after 35 plus years of marriage.

If you cannot donate, please leave a prayer for Aunt Debbie and the family during this time. Lets send Uncle Bill home like the Rock Star he truly was. Thank you all so very much!
