Don worked in the oil field as a foreman for 19 years before retiring. His passion was raising game chickens for over 50 years and being the best daddy and husband that he could be. He loved being around his family, goofing around, watching football, wrestling and westerns on TV, and speaking his opinion. There was never a time he didn’t tell the people he loved, that he loved them with a big hug before leaving. Now that he has left to be with Jesus, his family sends a big hug and “I love you” to him until reunited again. Don will always hold a special place in many hearts and will never be forgotten.
