Aidan loved his job and second home at Amalfi's Pizzeria and Restaurant in Central Valley, NY. He enjoyed his years as a camper and then counselor working at Smith Clove Park's Youth Activity Camp. Many of his greatest moments were playing football and soccer for Monroe-Woodbury Central School District, as well as a goalie for the Monroe Woodbury United Soccer Club.
Known for his infectious smile and 'Aidan Attitude,' he was a friend to everyone and will be missed by all who had the privilege to know him.
Aidan is survived by his parents, his brother Brody, and his sister Molly, also of Monroe. He is further survived by his grandmother Doris King, and his grandparents Alvin and Jaye Spitzer and numerous extended family members including Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.
