Jeff Bruce Smith

Jeffrey Bruce Smith, 63, passed away on January 12, 2026.

Jeffrey was born on July 8, 1962, at Fort Ord, California, to Shirley and Barry Smith. He was the third and youngest child in the family—the baby of the bunch—and carried that role with his own quiet presence and determination throughout his life.

Jeffrey spent many years working as a master plumber, a trade he took pride in and one that reflected his strong work ethic and practical skill. After retiring, he relocated to Blythe, California, where he lived out the remainder of his life.

He is survived by his two daughters, his sister, his nieces, and his grandchildren, all of whom will carry his memory forward.

Jeffrey will be remembered for his dedication to his work, his love for his family, and the life he built through steady hands and quiet strength
