William Naylor Smith was born March 19, 1999 into a ranching family in South Texas. Before he could walk, he was on a horse. By age two, he was in Africa accompanying his parents on safari. This little guy opened up his heart to the world by sharing anything and everything he could with friends, family, 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 lucky enough to have Will Smith for eight short years.  Since his death on June 3, 2007 from a tragic car accident on Maui, Will has been called an "old soul" by many. He was a very special person, but not until his death did anyone realize how many people this small child had reached and affected. Will's generosity and love of life has inspired the creation of The Will Smith Foundation to continue his benevolence.  Even though Will is not physically with us any more, his kind and giving spirit will continue to fill the hearts and enrich the lives of many.
