Obituary

Aubrey “Scooter” Smith

May 7, 1970 – October 15, 2023

In Loving Memory of Aubrey “Scooter” Smith

Aubrey Smith, affectionately known as “Scooter,” was born on May 7, 1970, and left this world on October 15, 2023. He was a beloved individual whose presence touched the lives of many.

Scooter has been reunited in the afterlife with his paternal and maternal grandparents, two brothers, two uncles, and his birth father. While he may have left this world, the memories of his time with us will continue to live on in the hearts of those he touched.

He is survived by his loving children, Michael Smith (Vic Caracci) and Meghan Smith (Frank Caracci), his parents, John and Sue Narretto, and sister Amy. His cherished grandchildren, Ella and Blair Glass, Michael and Francesca Caracci, as well as his nephew Clayton Hyde will forever carry his memory with them.

In addition to his immediate family, Scooter is survived by a network of aunts, uncles, and a multitude of nieces, nephews, and cousins. His impact on the lives of his extended family was immeasurable, and his memory will be a source of comfort and inspiration.

Furthermore, Scooter’s life was enriched by the presence of three extraordinary individuals– his nieces, Sydni and Madison, and Harley. Their unwavering support and love were a true blessing to him and to all who knew him. A heartfelt thank you goes out to these three exceptional individuals for their dedication and care over the past year.

Scooter will be remembered for his warmth, kindness, and the love he shared with his family and friends. His legacy will live on through the stories, memories, and the deep connections he forged with those fortunate enough to have known him.

Scooter will also be fondly remembered for his infectious humor, which never failed to bring a smile to the faces of those around him. His quick wit and playful jokes added a touch of laughter to every gathering, making his presence truly unforgettable. His ability to find humor in even the most challenging situations was a testament to his resilient spirit and will be cherished by all who had the pleasure of sharing a laugh with him.
