Teddy Smith
Nov. 12, 1985-April 9, 2023
Oakland, CA

We mourn the unimaginable loss of Edward Healy “Teddy” Smith who passed away on Easter Sunday. Teddy was born on November 12, 1985 with bright red hair that would be his trademark. Teddy attended Saint Raymond Catholic Elementary School and graduated as Student Body President in 2000. He went on to Bellarmine College Prep where he competed on the basketball and golf teams and developed lifelong friendships. He built upon his Jesuit education at Boston College, where he continued cultivating friendships and was selected as Most Valuable Player of the BC Rugby Football Club.

Teddy graduated from BC in 2008 and moved to New York City. Teddy’s endless ambition and energy embodied New York. He generously shared his love of the city with his family who visited frequently and will always cherish memories with him there. After moving back to California in 2014, Teddy developed a keen interest in green energy. He achieved tremendous professional success selling solar panels to residential properties, earning accolades as a top salesperson year after year.

Teddy will be forever loved by his parents Chuck & Maureen Smith, his brother Charlie (sister-in-law Kristinalisa; nephew Salesi & niece Heilala), his sister Mimi, and his extended family of numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins, including his special confidants Aunt Sheila, Aunt Coco, and Uncle Joe. He joins in heaven his grandparents Pat & Ted Smyth and Margaret & Charlie Smith, his aunt Peggy Klinge Smyth, and his cousin Jenny Ruth Myers.
