John "Jack" Edmond Smee Jr, 58 Beloved son of the late John Edmond Smee Sr. and Charlotte Ann Forgarty of St. Louis, MO Loving brother of Kelly (Jeffrey Marshall) Smee Martin Cherished uncle of Theodore John Clyde Martin Dear grandson of the late William Edward Smee and Nellie May Aubuchon & James Thomas Fogarty and Ruth Marie Kelly John was a brother-in-law, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend to many. He will be greatly missed by all. Let me tell you about my brother. He was my everything and my best friend. The absolute best big brother, a girl could ask for. Jack loved his only nephew, Teddy. Jack was so incredibly happy the day he became an Uncle. Teddy was up on a pedestal always. Jack enjoyed his motorcycle, the Cardinals , the river, hockey and his dog Harley so much. Hockey was such a huge part of my brothers life. I can remember being at the rink as far back as being 6. Jack was the best goalie. He will be missed by family and all his friends. I know Jack would want me to thank Jeanne Fogarty, our cousin, for always being there when he needed help at the hospital and a friend. Also, Kristi Fogarty Littrell, our cousin, for being like another little sister. He loved you so much. I would also like to thank Julie Dorsam, and Roberta Villmer for being with me when he passed. Both of you have been through hell with me, I appreciate you so much. I love you both. Teri Gibbs thank you for setting up a fund for Jack. I love you. Thank you, for staying with me when I needed help. Patti Carroll, thank you, for swooping in and making the tears stop for a little while. Terri Wolfe thank you for checking on me every day. I love you. Also, thank you to anyone who was special in Jack's life, especially Rick and Carl. To my husband, I know you wanted to be in Saint Louis with me and for that I am grateful. I love you so much. Thank you for supporting me through this. I know that Jack is with our parents now. He is finally reunited with our Mommy. He loved my Mother more than any words could describe. Jack fought for so long. He fought with everything he had in him. Sadly, in the end, he wasn't able to overcome this fight, it was bigger than him. I am so proud of my brother. I will love you, always and forever. Memorials can be made to: Autism Speaks https://www.autismspeaks.org/ or Kidney Foundation https://www.kidney.org/
