He is preceded in death by his grandmother, Diane Pfau. Along with his loving family, Smith was embraced by an amazing circle of friends, each one holding his memory in their hearts.

His family was not prepared to lose sweet Smith so soon but in his short time here, Smith brought immense joy to all those around him. His amazing smile was a constant source of light and love in their lives and could make any day better. His smile and memory will forever remain in their hearts and minds.

The Slatcoff family would like to extend sincere thanks to the incredible team at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, whose unwavering dedication, expertise and compassion gave them strength and will always be remembered with deep appreciation.
