In Loving Memory of Johnny Smith

Johnny Smith of Mannford, Oklahoma, passed away on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at the age of 65. He was born on April 6, 1960, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to his parents, Bill and Vera Smith.

Johnny met the love of his life, DeeDee, and the two shared a deep bond and a beautiful life together. He worked as an Area Expert in Maintenance at Kimberly-Clark, where he dedicated over 36 years of hard work and commitment.

Known for living life to the fullest, Johnny was the kind of grandpa who would jump off cliffs just to share a moment of adventure with his grandkids. He was a gifted storyteller and a man full of life and laughter. A true fan of OU Sooners Football, he also had a love for cars, motorcycles, and an ice-cold beer.

Johnny was preceded in death by his father, Bill Smith, and his mother, Vera Smith.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and unforgettable memories. Surviving him are his beloved wife, Dedera Smith; his daughter, Sara Calvillo; his siblings, Phyllis Bigbey and husband Tommy, Billie Kay Smith, Jimmy Smith and wife Tammy, Penny Seward and husband Richard, and Randy Smith and wife Kellie. He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren: Cameron, Brooklyn, Asia, Colton, Rowan, and Joby, along with many other loving relatives and a host of dear friends.
