Rudy Patrick Capece

    Rudy Patrick Capece, born August 31, 2007 in Charleston, West Virginia, died on July 5, 2024 at the age of 16 in Cleveland, Ohio. He had the perfect nose, feet like a Hobbit, and an incredible head of hair. He loved his friends, his family, his car and his animals. He had impeccable manners, was always an optimist, and developed a tolerance for the Browns. He knew every Star Wars movie, played Mark Anthony in his 5th grade class' rendition of Julius Caesar, and was passionate about his start-up, Start.com, which would connect high school students to companies for internships. Rudy never swore (in front of his parents), loved to wrestle with his dog Henry, razz his sister about every outfit she wore, and provided an argument against most liberal ideologies his mother spouted. He was gentle, whip-smart, open-minded, and patient. And the toughest kid there ever was. He leaves behind a family who has lost their True North and may need gentle reminders from time to time on which direction to travel.
