May 26, 1987 – June 5, 2026

Victor John Smith (Emerson), 39, of Pacific Grove, California, passed away on June 5, 2026, as the result of a car accident.

The youngest of three children, Victor grew up in Seattle, Washington. After graduating from high school, he proudly served his country in the United States Navy for four years. Following his military service, he returned to Seattle where he built a career as a software QA engineer and met the love of his life, Kirsten.

In 2020, Victor and Kirsten moved to Pacific Grove, California where they married and built their life together. It was here that Victor discovered a love for hospitality while running the family motel. He spent his free time pursuing his passions for golf, sports cars, and video games. Above all, he was a devoted family man.

Victor is survived by his loving wife, Kirsten; his beloved daughter, Sybil; his parents, Rose and Steve; and his sisters, Cristina and Natalia (who has since joined him in eternal rest).

A service to celebrate Victor's life will be held on July 23, 2026, at 10:30 AM at St. Angela Merici Catholic Church in Pacific Grove.
