Eltoro "Tez" M. Smith

November 20th, 1982 – September 26th, 2019

Eltoro “Tez” M. Smith, 36, of Vermont, IL, passed away at 8:20 am on Thursday, September 26, 2019 at OSF Richard L. Owens Hospice Home in Peoria, IL. He was born on November 20, 1982 in Joliet, IL, the son of Frank James Jr. and Ranez Smith.

Survivors include his wife, Dawn Dohner of Vermont, 8 sisters, Manika (and Lorenzo) Smith of Gary, IN, Donyale McCray of Chicago, IL, Lynn (and Charles) Edwards of Keokuk, IA, Shemika (and Antwon) Smith-Fields of Grand Rapids, MI, Takita (and Bill Baskin) Smith of Chicago, Carrie McGowan of Chicago, Frankie McGowan of Tennessee and Veronica McGowan of Waterloo, IA, paternal-grandmother, Elisabeth James of Springfield, IL and several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins.

He is preceded his parents, maternal-grandparents, Eltoro and Mary Lee Smith, and his paternal-grandfather, Frank James Sr.

He worked construction.

Tez was a very passionate person who loved his family very much. He enjoyed spending time with friends and family, listening to his music, cooking and traveling. He was a God fearing man who was protective of his family and loved ones.

He was a very loving and kind hearted person who would give the shirt off his back but would also be very blunt and give you a piece of his mind.

Cremation rites have been accorded. A memorial service will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, October 5, 2019 at the Vermont Christian Church in Vermont. Pastor Cody Stinnett will be officiating. Memorials may be made to Vermont Rescue Squad or the Vermont Food Pantry.
