Paul was born on January 15 1991 in Jersey City, NJ to Robin Miller and his deceased father. Paul’s mother Robin passed away when he 10 years old and he came right from his mother’s funeral to live with Keith “Rusty” and Pat Smith, 2 brothers and 3 sisters. He came from being a little city boy with no family into a big farm family. One year later he became Paul J. Smith. He graduated from Unadilla Valley Central School and had many, many friends. Paul was always full of fun and loved joking around, but when he met Emily Sugar he knew she was the one and when Jaron was born it was very obvious to anyone that knew them Emily and Jaron were the 2 most important people in his life. Paul was a wonderful, caring and very hands on father from the day Jaron was born.
Paul leaves behind his partner Emily and their 3 year old son Jaron, his mother Patricia Smith, his father and stepmother Keith (Rusty) and Danielle Smith, brothers Brian (Heather) Brown, Cliff Smith, sisters Kristin (Leroy) Charles, Taylor (Cody) Baker and Charity (Drayton) Smith. Also surviving is his maternal grandmother Evelyn Rockefeller, maternal grandfather Charlie (Virginia) Rockefeller, paternal grandmother Gladys Bello, paternal grandfather Bryan (Ruth Anne) Smith and Godmother Stephanie.
