Donald Smith

Donald Smith, age 82, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on September 26, 2020. All who knew him will remember him for his witty humor and his love of golf.   He was so proud of the opportunity to play golf at Pebble Beach with his son, in 2017 and again in 2018. He served in the United States Navy, as a radioman, stationed on the USS Los Angeles and was honorably discharged in April 1964. Don retired from Cuyahoga County Engineers after 35 years but didn’t stay retired for long; he went to work for QCI for 10 years.

He is survived by his wife of 46 years Jeanne; his three children, Katie, Steven (Melody), Kayla (Paul) Shanks; and two beautiful grandchildren, Koa and Kaia.

Don will be interred during private services held at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate a donation in memory of Donald Smith to The Hospice of Western Reserve at 17876 St Clair Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44110 or online at: donate.hospicewr.org.
