Jared Josiah Smith

Jared Josiah Smith, 37 years old, was called home to Heaven by Jesus on March 4, 2025.

He was born July 15, 1987 in Rochester

Hills, Michigan and moved to the state of Arizona in 1999. He graduated from Desert Hills High School in Gilbert, Arizona in 2005. He eventually settled in Tonto Basin, Arizona where he found a community of people who loved him as much as his family.

Jared is survived by his parents Tom and Danette Smith; his two sisters, Shelley and Tracie; and his brothers-in-law, Alan and Rick. He is also survived by nine nephews and nieces.

We also cannot forget! He is survived by his precious pups, Gotti and Dream.

Jared, you will be missed tremendously! You had the biggest heart and were the most selfless person, always willing to take care of others over yourself. You will forever live in our hearts as the boy we once knew. Everyone cherished the smile that you always had on your face! Keep on smiling!

A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at a later date in Tonto Basin, Arizona.

“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”

~Mark 8:36
