Scott Smith Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Scott's love for animals and his deep devotion to keeping pets safe led to a lifelong business in underground pet fencing. He and his loyal pal, Millie, trained and kept safe hundreds and hundreds of dogs. His customers loved him for it and were very loyal.
Scott was a devoted son of Robert Smith, his mother, Susan Swan, and stepdad Frank Swan, brother of Stacy (Chris) Carlstead and uncle to Kit, Annie and Audrey. He loved holidays and gatherings with family and hearing all the kids' antics and stories.
Golf was Scott's game. After a week of work, you could find him on one of his many favorite courses. His buddy, Jason, was his favorite golf partner and they played anywhere and everywhere they could. Scott was a true friend and a gentleman to whomever he came into contact with and will be missed by all.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, May 2, 2025, at 10:30am at Union Church, 137 S. Garfield Street, Hinsdale, Il 60521. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the Hinsdale Humane Society, 21 Salt Creek Lane, Hinsdale, Il 60521.

I´ve been calling and calling for Pet Fence servicing and did not get an answer or call back. I knew something was terribly wrong because Scott always answered my calls right away or called me back right away. I´m so sorry for his loss to family friends snd customers. Scott was great to work with and I´ll miss him.

Scott was my best friend for several years during elementary school. He had a contagious sense of adventure and we collectively navigated many potentially mischievous situations together. These memories are very dear to me and he will be missed sorely. Much love to Stacey and Sue.
Best love Ed Mooney

Although Scott´s health was declining he would always give a thumbs up
on his way to work. He was always joined by his pet Millie. She went with Scott whenever he left the house. Occasionally she came to our house to say hello. A better neighbor could not be found. I will miss Scott forever.

Scott was a wonderful neighbor for 20 years, and he will be deeply missed. Every morning began with a friendly wave-one of those small gestures that meant a lot. His furry loyal companion Millie went everywhere with him, they were inseparable and shared a bond that warmed the neighborhood.
Scott took great pride in everything he did-his yard was always immaculate, a reflection of his perfectionist spirit. He was an avid golfer, and every now and then we´d find a stray golf ball in our yard, a small reminder of his passion for the game.
We´ll miss his presence, his quiet dedication, and the kindness he brought to our corner of the world.

Dear the beloved family of Scott:
We are devastated to hear of Scott's passing and are praying for all those who love him. Scott was an exceptional neighbor and friend to us for the past 11 years. We will miss looking across the street and seeing his smiling face. He was the definition of light, love and kindness. May he rest in eternal peace. We will never forget him.
