Harold Steven Smith

Steven was born in Dallas, TX on September 13, 1974, to Harold and Yolanda Smith. He graduated from Nolan Catholic High School and attended the University of Texas at Arlington, where he was a founder of Omega Delta Phi, Tau Chapter.

Steven worked for McDonald’s Corporation for 33 years. He started at age 15 as a crew member in Grand Prairie, TX, and worked his way up to his recent role as Franchise Business Partner. His career with McDonald’s allowed him to live in different parts of the US where he enjoyed teaching, motivating, and leading various owners/operators across the country. He was a brand advocate and a champion for the owner/operators he supported. He was recognized on several occasions for his contributions to the company, receiving the Presidents’ and the Circle of Excellence awards.

Ever the jetsetter, Steven enjoyed traveling around the world. He visited over 23 countries! From seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland to catching a World Cup match between Germany and Mexico in Russia, he definitely crossed off trips that are on most bucket lists. When he was not traveling, he loved spending time with his friends and family, including his nieces and nephews who were the world to him. Fascinated by the views seen only by drones, Steven enjoyed practicing his skills as an amateur drone pilot. He also enjoyed watching soccer matches of his favorite teams, going to concerts, and always trying the best new restaurants in town.

Steven is survived by his parents, Harold and Yolanda, his brothers Brandon (Mariela) and David (Phi), his nieces Lauren, Allison, Bella and Lana and his nephews, James, and Logan. And of course, his beloved Yorkie Lola.
