Stephen Smith Obituary

SMITH

Stephen A., age 62, died unexpectedly at his home Sunday, November 19th.He had lifelong friendships with a group of his LaSalle High School classmates. He graduated from The Ohio State University and began a 34 year career as a Landscape Architect. He established and maintained close relationships with many of his clients. He was creative and exacting in detail as the people who worked with him will attest. And oh could he tell a story. He is the son of Charles and Shirley Smith (both deceased) of Cincinnati, and the brother of Donna (Frank) Giese, Mark (Shonda) Smith, Jody (Tom) Robinett, and Greg (Donna) Smith. He was especially close to and dearly loved by his 15 nieces and nephews Peter, Jenna, Andy, Jeff, and Matt Giese; Rhea, Amy, and Lauren Smith; Bill Heideman; Bryan, Marc, and Kyle Robinett; Brandon, Benjamin, and Carly Smith. A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

We were so fortunate to experience Stephen A's talents. He turned our Cincinnati home's landscape into a masterpiece we will remember and hold in our hearts as the most beautiful place we ever lived. We were even more fortunate to enjoy Stephen A's friendship. He shared with us his passion for Cincinnati, and through his eyes, we spent four years coming to know his beloved city the beautiful architecture, the diverse neighborhoods, his favorite restaurants, and so much more. We loved our time with him, cherish the beauty he leaves behind, remember him dearly, and will miss him always.
