February 13, 1956 – December 13, 2025

Tremaine (Trim) John Smith, our beloved husband, Dad, Papa, brother, uncle and friend passed away December 13, 2025 after a very courageous battle with cancer. He was born in Yakima, WA along with his twin sister Jeanine on February 13, 1956. They were adopted at birth by Dean and Judy Smith in Wapato, WA. Trim’s family moved to Spokane in 1969 when his dad accepted a position as United State Attorney for Eastern Washington. Trim graduated from Mead High School in 1974 and Washington State University in 1978. This is where he met his wife of 47 years, Lindy (Johnson) Smith.

In 1978 Trim started his career with the State of Washington Department of Revenue where he served until his retirement in 2011. He met and maintained many friendships during that time.

After concluding his long tenure with the Department of Revenue, Trim embraced a new professional chapter by joining Ernst & Young Accounting Firm in Seattle in September 2011, where he applied his expertise in Washington State and Local Tax until his second retirement in 2023.

Some of Trim’s fondest memories were the summers he spent at the family cabin on Hayden Lake with his sister and cousins. He was very passionate about snow skiing, water skiing, boating on the Columbia River and most of all golfing. Above everything, Trim cherished every moment spent with his family. As a devoted Cougar fan, he took great pride cheering on his team. He especially enjoyed attending Richland High School Bombers basketball and baseball games with his grandson, Kyle.

In addition to Lindy, Trim is survived by his immense pride and joy, his children: daughter Stephanie, son Corey, daughter-in-law Lindsey: his grandchildren: Kyle, Penelope, Kaylee and Theodore.

He is also survived by his sister Jeanine, her son Benjamin, Lindy’s siblings, Randy (Lea), Don (Louisa), Laurie, Lisa (Mary Pat), and Patty (Bryan). He is survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins. Trim was preceded in death by his parents; Dean and Judy, Lindy’s parents; Harry and Norma and his brother-in-law, Kelly Corr.
