Linda and family, words just aren't adequate at times like this. We are heartbroken for you. We always enjoyed chatting with Don when we went into the store. In fact, not long before he closed, Johnny went in looking for something obscure. He showed Don on his phone that it was in stock there. He looked at him and said Johnny you can't believe everything you read on the internet! They had a good laugh. Within all of you are the memories of a funny, kind and loving man. Today and every day ahead, we pray for the perfect peace that passes all understanding to be real to you all. God bless you and keep you in His perfect love and peace.

Sorry to hear of Don's passing. He was one of my dearest friends during highschool and beyond. We shared several vacations during our younger years. Don was a great guy and will be missed by many. I'm sorry I couldn't make the funeral, but I suffered an injury to my back from a fall yesterday. My condolences and prayers to Linda and the family.

I am so sorry to hear of the sad news of Don's passing. I went to Easley Jr High and Easley High School with him and he was always a nice guy. He wasn't rough in school, then turned Mr. Nice Guy in his grownup years. He was always nice! You all have my deepest sympathy. I pray that God will wrap His loving arms around you and hold you close as you grieve your husband, dad, and granddad.
