Thomas Harrison Smith, age 41, of Fairmount, Georgia, passed away Thursday, January 2, 2025 at Wellstar Cobb Hospital. He was born November 27, 1983 to William Roy Smith Sr. and Donna Ann Smith in Jacksonville, Florida.
Tommy had a deep passion for metal detecting and unearthing relics from the past, especially items related to the Civil War. His love for history extended to collecting memorabilia, carefully curating pieces that told stories of times long gone. An avid admirer of classic automobiles, Tommy had a particular fondness for muscle cars, marveling at their craftsmanship and power. Beyond his hobbies, he was known for his generous spirit, volunteering at the Ruth House, where he would spend countless hours fixing cars for those in need. His dedication to both history and community made him a beloved figure among friends and strangers alike.
