It is with deep sorrow that we at VetBiz share the passing of our dear friend and longtime client, Tim Smith. Tim lost his battle with cancer on February 5th—after courageously overcoming it three times before—and his strength, resilience, and kindness have left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him, especially our staff and fellow clients. Tim’s journey was one of unwavering service and achievement. Before establishing himself as a businessman, he proudly served his country, an experience that shaped his commitment to integrity and service. Transitioning into the business world, Tim has built multiple successful ventures while always prioritizing the welfare of others, especially his fellow veterans. His leadership at Patriot Commercial Cleaning and his role as a founding member of our Veterans CEO Roundtable are just two examples of his dedication to supporting those who have served our nation. Beyond his impressive professional accomplishments, Tim was known for his genuine warmth and steadfast care for those around him. Whether he was working through a business challenge, spending time with family and friends, or engaging in thoughtful conversation, his compassion was evident. Most recently, Tim added author to his list of achievements, sharing his story, imparting wisdom, and highlighting his experiences to inspire future generations.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, Ana Teresa “Terri” Farias-Smith, and his sons, Tim Jr. and Tyler Smith. As they continue Tim’s legacy, our VetBiz team stands with them, offering our unwavering support during this difficult time and beyond.
