DONALD HERNDON Obituary
Hillcrest Memorial Center
Donald Dale (Pops) Herndon, was born in Chanute, KS, on Aug. 2, 1938, to parents Johnny & Bertha Herndon. He returned home on June 1, 2011, surrounded by much family and loved ones after he lost his fight with lung cancer.
Pops lived in the Tri Cities for 33 years with his wife of 43 years, Dee, where they raised their children. Pops was an incredibly unselfish, caring man. He touched and changed the lives of many people. He had a very strong sense of family and it was very important to him to keep family unity alive.
A celebration of life will be held on Sat., June 11, at 3 p.m. at Hillcrest Memorial Center, 9353 W. Clearwater Ave., Kennewick. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to any Chase bank in Donald's name.

So sorry for all of you and for your loss, he was a loving and caring person.. know Dee and know she was happy, he leave everyone with memories and love. No one knows what Gods plans are...But know now he is free of all pain and God took his hand to live with him in enternity and show him it is all he promised him.. Dee he loved you as much as you did him and sure he wouldnt want you to think of you both far apart, because everytime you think of him he is right there in your heart ... of all the love you shared, and all the fun you had. and that if he had one more day to relive even just for awhile he'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile... So keep your memories always, and remember the time you both were happy and that you both had a love to last and share forever .. love ya.. Jeannie McGowan
