Donald Knutson Obituary

Donald E. Knutson Don was a cheerful, giving man who made everyone laugh. He loved to cook and golf, and adored his wife Lynda. Don left us very unexpectedly on May 11, 2011 at the age of 64. He left behind his wife Lynda, and his brothers Kenneth (Starr) of Kailua, Kona, HI, and Gary (Sally) of Port Townsend, WA. Don was a Viet Nam war veteran, and he dabbled in many vocations during his lifetime. Some of Don's life-long friends and Lynda invite the surviving family and friends to a Celebration of Don's Life on Saturday, June 4, 2011 at Tacoma Eagles, 4810 S. Tacoma Way, in Tacoma. The pot-luck gathering will take place from 12:30pm to 2:30pm. Please sign Don's on-line guestbook at www.mountainviewtacoma.com You left us many great memories, Don, and we love you - Thank You!

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I had only met him for a short time but he was so full of life and such a fun person! I adore his wife Lynda and am very grateful to her that I was just even a small part of his life! You and your yummy cooking will be missed! ?

Well Donald I have to say something because you were such a special person in my life and the kids. You will sadly be missed by man and pardon the pun, but Im going off one of the many songs you use to sing. "My Way" You did it your way and I know in my heart you are up there singing to all the angels in your life and mine. Till we meet again my friend, I Love You and miss You already and have not talked to you in a very long time.
