He is survived by his soul mate, Deb Devereaux of Rensselaer; one brother, Chris Smart (Rosalita) of Morocco; one sister, Jennifer Smart of Michigan City; four nephews: Jeffrey Boyd Smart (Nellie), Boyd Thomas Smart II, Gregory Nicholas Smart, and John Thomas Smart; three great-nieces: Haley Smart, Angela Smart, and Amethyst Smart; one great-nephew, Jeffrey Boyd Smart, Jr.; and one great-great niece, Arayah Nicole Smart.

He was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers, Judge Robert Boyd Smart and Nicholas Clair Smart.
