Donald J. Zieber passed away on Monday, October 9, 2023, at his home following a brief illness. Don was born January 28, 1950 to Margaret (Keller) and Jerald J. Zieber. He was raised on the family farm.
Don was a proud member of the class of '68, the final graduating class of the former Thompson High School. He continued his education at The Ohio State University, graduating in 1972 with a degree in Agricultural Economics.
Following graduation, Don returned to the farm, joining the family business, Zieber Egg Farm, and later ZZZ Pork. The farm was his lifelong passion! He concluded his working career as a meat inspector with the State of Ohio Department of Agriculture.
Don was a lifelong member of Immaculate Conception Church in Bellevue. He served on the Board of Directors of the former Bellevue Farmers CoOp, as a Seneca County Poll worker in Thompson Township, and as a volunteer at Fish & Loaves.
He was a kind man who put others ahead of himself. Don valued his friends from the farm operation, meat inspection, and especially his lifelong friends from Thompson and OSU. Mr. Zieber loved watching storms, movies, and adventure outings with the grandkids, Black Friday shopping, and OSU football!
Don is survived by his wife, Jean, whom he married on April 19, 1974, at St. Michael Church. Also left to cherish his memory are his children, Laura and Greg, his grandchildren, Andrew, Brendan, Cami, and Tyler, and his five great-grandchildren. Other survivors include his siblings, Ted (Debbie) Zieber of Mansfield, Paul Zieber of Columbus, and Ann (Nelson) Wright of Bellevue.
He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Jerry Zieber, on October 5, 2023, and sister and brother-in-law, Mary & Rob Moffit.
Visitation will be on Sunday, October 15, 2023, from 2-5:00 pm with rosary at 1:30 pm at Auxter Funeral Home, 1105 Castalia St., Bellevue, Ohio. The funeral mass will be on Monday, October 16, 2023, at 11:00 am at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Bellevue. Burial will follow at St. Michael's Cemetery.
Friends & family are invited to a luncheon and fellowship at the ICC basement following the committal.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made, if desired, to Stein Hospice of Western Reserve or the Cancer Services of Sandusky or St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
The Zieber family extends sincere thanks to the doctor, nurses, and aides who were "angels" at our time of need.
