James, sheesh i am still in dis belief but only because i can't talk to you, you have always been that dude. So lucky to have been a part of you all of your life, from 82 walnut street babysitting you and hearing you call me aunt yowa ( lol you couldn't say my name) to you coming to see that I was straight when you lost your Dad, throught your grieving you wanted to make sure I was good, i will never forget when you just showed up and the talk we had, "james listen your dad said for me to take care of you, cause he was leaving, you promised that you would be okay and you were, little did we know he'd be gone in a qeek too, you kept a small piece of paper in your wallet, if ever you need anything you know I am here, was our conversation, I love you sooooo much yes I still do, i'll never forget the last time we spoke, you said awe no Aunt loha nooo take this, i said no it's not always I could do this and i may never get a chance to do it again, listen i am mad I said those words to you, you were gone the next week, my soul hurt for you and i couldn't imagine life without you, without knowing you existed. I miss your texts, our meet ups in the mornings of car issues, the christmas eve texts, " james you done shopping, you'd say nope going now" oh and the egg on a round roll with sausage and onion, no cheese, lol, and the chocolate nesquick drink with the bunny on the label. I know you are in a much better place than this world, and i know you are glad to see your dad, grandparents and uncles. It has taken me this long to write anything, i was at work one day and losing it, i looked out the window and out of no where, a cardinal was sitting on the rail of the ramp,i knew it was you, and you stayed around for a few more days, watching over me, that is just like you, making sure everyone was good. Nephew I will love you forever and a day. I know you are resting easy, because you lived your life easy. I love you, Aunt Loha.

James......man!!!!! I am so glad that not only were we blood but we were friends. I've lost other relatives, but losing you, did something different to me. I only wish you knew how much I love you. I know you knew, but I wish you REALLY knew. You were always there no matter what time of day or night. When I called or texted you with my shenanigans you were always ready to co-sign, but also told me to chill out if necessary. You are sorely missed. I use to think that people would exaggerate when they said they would think about their loved one everyday, but I'm beginning to see now, that they probably weren't. I have thought about you everyday since I received that dreadful call. I often think about how happy and excited grandmom, your dad and your other family members were when you entered heaven. That had to be a great reunion! I'm sad that you are gone, but I have no doubts that you are in a beautiful place! Ultimately, you are the lucky one. I love you forever, and I pray to see you in heaven again. If you never taught me anything, you definitely taught me to love and live life. You were so full of it! I will miss your laugh, smile and that bouncing walk lol....watch over me please! I love you!

Recently had met this young charming man and immediately liked his personality and demeaner. At the time i did not know that he was Jimmy's son and grandson of Aloah and Walt. For many years I played ball with the Smith boys and they were great people. May this young man rest in peace and my our Lord bestow peace on all that knew and loved him.

Smitty, my heart is broken. I was with my wife and children when I heard. We had a moment of silence in disbelief. A few tears then many laughs thinking or you.My heart goes out to all you touched (and there’s plenty) we share in the sadness. Your memory will live on for ever. I will se you on the other side.

My condolences to the family and friends. James, I’m going to miss you! You were such a great human being to many people. I really thanked God that you were there to sell me my car. You took real good care of me from beginning to end. Always checked up on me with your jokes and told me stories about people buying cars. Thank you James for always being #iknowaguy! I don’t know who I can trust as a better salesperson. You were a gift to many.

Sending thoughts and prayers to the Smith Family and Nicole at this most difficult time. I had the pleasure of working with James everyday at Cadillac Of Turnersville. I will miss that beautiful smile of his and all his text messages. We lost one of God's Best here on earth, but Heaven gained an Angel that will keep everyone in Heaven Smiling. I am Richly Blessed that he was my friend and co-worker. Fly high my Beautiful Friend, until we meet again. I will miss you forever and keep you and your family in my prayers. God Bless you James. I Loved You Dearly.

My dearest condolences to the Smith family, James was one of a kind and always had a huge smile on his face and was always laughing. I'll never forget his highlighter neon and bright pink shirts they always match his sneakers perfectly. He had the best sneakers Nike and Jordan's. I complimented him and after that he always made sure everyday to show me his new kicks!! Little moments like that always made work never really feel like work. He was always so helpful and would always go the extra mile if neither one of us knew the answer he would fine a way. We both hated not knowing what the answer was to a problem. He will forever be missed and god always takes the good ones too soon. Stay strong and know he will always be with each and every one of us just in a different way now. Rest in peace James Smith heaven gained a beautiful angel.

Say Brotha Smitty! I'm going to miss you Bro, I never thought I'd be writing this because of the person you were and how you treated everybody like a longtime friend or family member, as I would say to on your posts "Just do the right thing" and you would reply "Always"..Lol.. Well guess what? YOU DID! so good the Good Lord above had plans for you and we both know God doesnt make any mistakes! Stretch those wings Bro and fly high!!!! Until we meet again, take care and Rest in Peace. RBR

To the family of James Smith my prayers and thoughts are with all of you I had the awesome opportunity to work with James at Turnersville Chevrolet started five years ago and James was the first person to welcome me to this dealership and i knew from day one we were going to work well as a team James made that so easy to happen he will be sorely missed by all that knew him never had a cross word to say about anybody always upbeat he would text me on Sunday nights to let me know what kind of service dept repairs he would be dealing with that week and i would complain but we always ending up getting it done the main thing that you could not ever not like him great person all the way around
he was the real definition to me of A BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER he will be always missed and thought about every single day
Sincerely
Pat and Donna Regan

Just reading through all of the comments just proves that you are every bit as great a human as I thought. There are so many things just over this past week that remind of me you...and there have already been countless times I've reached for my phone to send you a message of something I heard or saw. Thank you for letting me into your world these past 8 years. You were truly the coolest person I knew...you made everything look so easy. You introduced me to "the hookup" among many other things. I'll never look at a pair of sneakers without thinking of you. I could go on forever. Just know I'll never forget you. Rest Easy, My Friend.

James, it is taking me days to think about what to write, there is so many things I can say. The first thing I want you know I have been very blessed to have many friends in my life, but some friends you aspire to be because you know that there better than you and if you hang around You learn to be a better person. . I have been blessed to have five people in my life that I wanted to be more like, James Gee, Bill Berrios, Larry Kull, my brother Mike and you James Smith because you embodied love laughter and one person that did not judge anybody, I will have to wait till the day I can see you again and hear your laugh and talk about how much you love your family, also talk about how much you love your friends. I have an encyclopedia of memories that I can turn the pages and go back to that I’m grateful for like, the fact that we’re not allowed to be in Jacksonville ever again or Baltimore, those times we all went away we’re some of the best times of my life, You always manage to be everywhere, I think the night you were at my Super Bowl party someone text me and said you were at their place to you never want to disappoint anyone, I have been blessed to have you at many events and celebrations in my life, two of my three kids weddings and by the way how many friends do people have that their kids worship.
Love RIP
Steve
I am gonna miss you and I pray there is a heaven everyday so once again I can see my love ones and ask you once again, who is with that guy can you go and say hi,lol. To some it up the quote at the bottom of my page its all about you, I think it was written for you.
What Is Success
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Smitty we have known each other for a long time even though it was mostly as one of your customers going back to RK and then in Turnersville. Your relationship with my brother and the laughs we have had over the years including our conversation a couple weeks ago I will always remember. You were to good a guy to be lost so soon. You will live on in peoples memories. - Mike D

You were that friend I could always count on. The random check ins, your countless prayers for Mason, how often you spoke of your loved ones. The world is definitely a dimmer place without your light. Rest easy, James...be that amazing soul in heaven as you were here on earth.
Endless prayers, love and comfort to everyone who loved him and were blessed to have his love. He will be missed tremendously.
