It is with shattered hearts that we share the news of the tragic passing of James “Poodie” Smith on April 15, 2026. James was a light in the lives of everyone who knew him, and his sudden and untimely departure has left a void that can never be filled. As we navigate this period of immense grief, we want to give James the dignified and loving farewell he deserves.
Because this loss was so unexpected, the family was not prepared for the high costs associated with funeral and burial arrangements. We have set up this fund to help cover funeral services, cemetery and burial expenses for the family as we grieve and honor James’s memory. Every dollar helps ease the financial strain so the family can focus on celebrating James’s life and finding comfort in the love of those around them.
We are reaching out to our community, friends, and loved ones to ask for your support in honoring James’s memory. No donation is too small, and every act of kindness is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please share this page and keep James’s family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your compassion and generosity during this incredibly difficult time.
