It is with utmost sadness that the Smith family announces that George Tye Smith III, who went by his middle name Tye, 47 of Lithonia, GA died unexpectedly of natural causes on March 27th.
A devoted husband and father he was a builder for 25+ years who loved his work. Not one to ever sit still, he loved the outdoors: hunting, fishing, camping, boating, working in the yard; playing pool with his sons and enjoying the simple pleasures in life. Tye had a special gift of making friends easily with anyone that he encountered, and he will be remembered fondly as that friend who would not hesitate to jump in and help anyone in need.
Tye was the only son of the late George Tye Smith Jr and Judy Ann Cerazo of Deland, FL. He is survived by his wife, Mila Ruth Smith of Lithonia GA; children Taylor Smith of Orlando, FL; Tyler Smith of Orlando, FL and Trenton Smith of Lithonia, GA. Additional survivors include his Uncle Charlie and wife Lisa Smith; Cousin Judy Tucker; Nephew Jaylynd Carr; and, Niece Travianna Byner.
While no funeral service is currently scheduled, a celebration of life ceremony in Orlando, FL will be announced at a date and time to be determined by the early summer of 2023.
In lieu of flowers, donations to help the family during this difficult time are appreciated; for contact information please email
Mila and family,
I’m so sorry for your loss.
