Who Is Will Smith?

Will Naylor Smith: March 19, 1999 – June 3, 2007

William Naylor Smith was born on March 19, 1999, into a ranching family in South Texas. Before he could walk, he was on a horse. By the age of two, he was on the continent of Africa accompanying his parents on a safari. Will opened up his heart to the world by sharing anything and everything he could with friends, neighbors, and strangers. Will was a “giver” from the start. Whether it was a smile, a laugh, stories of his adventures, or giving his possessions to other kids, Will wanted to share his passion for life with the rest of the world. 

The world was only fortunate enough to have Will Smith for eight short years. He was a very special person. It was not until his death did anyone realize how many people this small child had reached and affected. Will’s generosity and love of life have inspired the creation of The Will Smith Foundation to continue his benevolence. Even though Will is not physically with us anymore, his kind and giving spirit will continue to fill the hearts and enrich the lives of many.
