Thomas W. Smart, Jr.
Beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Thomas W. Smart Jr. passed away at home on Monday July 24th, 2006 of diabetes complications. Tom was born in Reno Nevada October 11th 1959 and moved with his family from California to Florida to Utah before settling in Seattle in 1961. He graduated from Highline High School in 1977 and after attending college in California he returned to Seattle where he excelled in the construction field, becoming a building superintendent by age 25. He was a founding co-owner of SGA Corporation where he worked for 24 years. Outgoing and with a passion for aviation, he charmed all who met him. Tom lives on in our hearts and memories, particularly for his goodness, positive outlook, hard work, and his love for his daughters and grandson.

He is survived by his daughters, Lexi Smart and Randi Smart, both of Seattle, WA, grandson Isaiah Navarro of Seattle WA, and sister Marty Smart of Arlington VA.

We were sorry to read that Tom had died. We remember him as a young boy. Our prayer is that you will find he lives on in all the wonderful memories of your time together. A special greeting to Marti, who we also remember as a young woman and the only one still living in the family of Betty and Tom Smart Sr.–Love and prayers, Stan and Pat Cervenka

Tommy,
I remember. though it was years ago, so many wonderfully fun times with you and the rest of the SSG crew. Like the raft trips down the Wenatchee. You will be remembered by so many and we’ll see you again one day!
I’ve known Tommy for 17 years, hard to believe. I worked with Tommy in the Construction industry at SSG and SGA. My fondest memory of Tommy was his gift for Gab. Usually on a Friday afternoon as I was trying to leave the office Tommy would start to gab, he would follow me from the office to the parking lot and continue to talk to me as I drove out of the parking lot waving good bye. It seems like yesterday. I will miss you forever Tommy.
I realized several days ago what it is like to lose a long time freind who I could have called any time on any day and would have known he would be there for me. I will miss you.
I miss you, Tommy.
Tom you will be missed by many,we had alot of great times as kids.

Tommy –
Will never forget our shared times together in the 70’s – football in your backyard, getting the 327 running but sputtering in the 66 Chevelle I sold you, skiing, and many more.. you’ll live forever in our memories. . Best regards, GeneO
I just wanted to say thank-you to all who have read this. If my dad knew how much he was loved I know he would’ve been that much more happier of a man. He was the best man I have ever known and I miss him so much.
