When we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with all the love and cherished memo- ries they left behind.
Justin Ramone Smith was born October 28, 1985, in Tampa, Florida at Tampa Gen- eral Hospital to Michael L Smith and Donna Sue Crist. Those close to him called him Mone, Mahoney, or most commonly, Jay. Jay received his diploma in 2003 and was in the process of obtaining his barbering license through Artistic Nails & Beauty Academy. His dream was to one day open his own barber shop and strived every day towards that goal. He loved basketball, shooting pool, and was an avid fisherman.
Justin was a loving and proud father of three beautiful
children. Every day he was bet- tering himself to leave a better life and set an example for them. Jay was a pillar in his family, al- ways ready to lend a helping hand or steady shoulder for those in need. His big smile and even bigger laugh will live on for- ever and be greatly missed.
Justin was preceded in pass- ing by: his grandfathers, Robert L. Smith, Sr. and Alvin C. Crist; honorary grandfather, Willie Huggins; grandmothers, Phyllis Crist and Willie Belle Smith; un- cles, Wayne Crist, Robert “Bobby” Smith, Jr.; aunt, Tami Crist; younger sister, Angel Thomas, and Roosevelt Thomas, Jr.
He leaves to cherish his memories: three children, Djara, Deon, and Ma’khi (their mothers Victoria and Asia); parents, Donna Crist and Michael Smith; sisters, Lathaya Smith and Ash- ley Smith; brother, Roosevelt Thomas, III (Tasha); nieces, Ja- marria, Angelise, Ariyanna, Jah- mari, Shanice, and Jahanissa; nephews, Bernard, Deshaun and Shane; grandmother, Ella Mae Thomas; aunts, Teresa Harris (Eddie), Yvonne Smith, Verna Crapps (Anthony), Teresa Hart, Dianna Doutt, Deborah Jackson (Ronnie), Lisa Johnson (Jer- maine), Crystal Everett, Kokisha Pease, Millicent Crist, Tina Crist; uncles, Raymond Smith, Eric Crist, Jeffrey Crist (Tami), Edwin Crist (Teresa), Carlton Pease (Nikki). There is a host of grieving cousins who were also his first and best friends as well as many loved relatives and friends. There is only one happi- ness in this life, to love and be loved. Justin was a walking testi- mony of this. Live on in Paradise.
