of Memphis, TN
July 11, 1975 - April 4, 2023
Jason O'Neal Smith of Memphis passed away on April 4, 2023 at Methodist North Hospital. He was born in West Memphis on July 11, 1975 to Dewayne and Cheryle Smith.
He is survived by his mother, Cheryle Smith of Springdale; his brother, Chris Smith (Amy) of Springdale; his nephew, Dewayne Smith (Jessica) and their children, Jayde and Kali; his nieces, Brooke Smith and Zoe Smith both of Rogers and a lot of other loving family members.
He is preceded in death by his father, Curtis Dewayne Smith of Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas.
Jason was an extreme Kansas City Chiefs fan. He supported his team with his jersey top, down to his bright red shoes. When not cheering on his favorite team, Jason loved to sit in his favorite chair on the front porch, drinking a cold beer. Jason had a huge heart and was loved by everyone who met him. He worked at Empire Packing and it was his home away from home. He considered his work crew extended family.
The Smith family would like to thank everyone at Methodist North for all the help and support during our time. We would like to thank all of his Empire family for the love and support during this time as well.
To Jason and Monica Delaney, you were his rock thank you for loving him like family over the years. Please know he loved you just as much.
To Monica: - you were his only true love.
Memorial services will be announced at a later date.
I am so sorry to hear of Jason's passing. I worked with him on President's Island in Memphis and he was a fine young man & I thought a lot of him. I will keep your family in my prayers. GOD bless you all.

Jason, you will be missed by everyone that knew you. I can't believe you aren't here with us anymore. Take care of everyone that is with you now in heaven. I know you were glad to see them, but it was so hard to lose you here. You are with family and friends in Heaven and they are so lucky to have you. We know we will see you again.

I been struggling with this one. As men, we don’t necessarily express ourselves always. But there’s no one I had more respect for. Feel like God this one wrong. Trying to make this one make sense. Condolences to the family and to Monica. It hurts my heart so much to even type this. I’m so mad. Love you bro. Rest easy. If you run into my lil bro give him a hug for me.
I’m not great with my expressing myself But me you and Treccer are Day one’s. You has a heart of hold. It really seems too soon. This one don’t make sense. We gone hold you down. Love you bro. Rest Easy.
It was a privilege and an honor to have known Jason. He will be sorely missed.
Jason and I had a lot of laughs. I worked with him for many years. He was very good at his job and he loved his job and friends there at Empire Packing. We all will miss you Jason. Rest in peace.
I love you Jason genuinely! Work will not be the same. My note is still on your desk. You left too soon. Say hi to my dad for me. Your work wife.
I'm miss you my guy been working with you for years mane still cant believe your gone I been stepping into your office everyday hoping you be there....
Jason there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Your presence is missed deeply by your Empire family especially me. I will never forget our conversations, because you always had my back and every one else's. You were more than a coworker, you were a brother. Rest in peace until we meet again ðŸ™ðŸ¾ðŸ•Šï¸â¤ï¸
We are so sorry 😞 ! Prayers for you and your family. Love him so much. Love you and Chris and here if you need me.
Rest in peace buddy. You will be missed and are loved by many.
Jason and I practically grew up together, we were best friends, he will be missed a lot, the Smith family are in my prayers ðŸ™
