Washington D.C.—The community mourns the loss of Delonte A. Smith, who passed away on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 8, 2024. Delonte was a beloved family member, friend, and sports enthusiast who made a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Born and raised in Washington D.C., Delonte was known for his deep love of sports, especially as a devoted Dallas Cowboys fan in a family of Redskins supporters. Throughout his life, he showcased his competitive spirit, engaging in a variety of sports, including football and baseball. In his youth, he even earned recognition as a chess champion. Despite his sometimes-intimidating appearance, with his distinctive droopy eyes, those who knew him best experienced a sense of humor that was unmatched, bringing laughter and joy to many.
Delonte’s passing leaves behind a legacy of love, cherished by his family members, including his mother, Vickie Smith; his brother, Monteriel Smith; his sister, Sheraé Smith; and his daughter, Amya Hudson. His faith journey was significant, having committed his life to Jesus Christ at Pilgrim Baptist Church in his late 20s.
In honor of Delonte’s memory, a fundraiser has been established by his mother, Vickie Smith, to help celebrate his life and legacy. The family invites the community to support the fundraiser, and they request continued prayers during this difficult time.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Delonte A. Smith. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.
