In loving memory of James Leroy Smith, son of Anita Haynes Nielsen and James Leroy Smith Sr., and grandson of Clinton and Daisy Haynes. He transitioned on September 23, 2021 after a long hard fought battle with prostate cancer surrounded by his loving children and family. He is no longer in pain and is at peace with The Great Spirit and his ancestors. There will be a memorial and laying of ashes in Spring 2022 in Massachusetts where he was born and raised. He is survived by his children Tanja Duncan age 54, Kourtney Smith age 50, James Ambers age 49, Erica Souza age 48, Katrina Turner age 47, and Danielle Smith age 46, 13 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
