I am a mother to an amazing man that is no longer here with me in the flesh. His untimely death has left me very devastated. My son, Jad Aris Smith, transitioned on February 26th, 2026, and life has completely changed for myself and the family he has left behind. Jad is a father to two beautiful children that will no longer experience his presence daily. His son, Jadore Smith (1), and daughter, Jade Watson (4), were his greatest joy. He dedicated his life to his children, parents, siblings, and friends. Overall, he was and is a great man and has left a tremendous impact on everyone that he's crossed paths with. My family and I will never understand this untimely passing of my son, but I'm grateful to have been his mother, and I will forever love my son.
