Donald Eakes

Donnie and the Eakes family were our neighbors and dear friends all of my childhood years in Person County, North Carolina. We shared rides to church and later to and from Chapel Hill. Many fond memories. I am saddened to hear of his passing and will keep his family in my prayers.

Liz, my sympathy to you and your family. May you find peace in Him.

Sorry to read about Don's passing. I worked with Don for many years in Recreation & Parks. He never failed to have conversation with me about the many things he enjoyed. He had quite a sense of humor. He always mentioned something about Jason. My condolences to his family.

I met Don when Liz began dating him and I was in their wedding party as a brides maid. We visited each other's homes, shared meals and good times. I had been Liz's friend since 1967 and our friendship with our families lasted throughout our marriages, Don proved a good husband for my best friend. R. I. P. Don and hug Liz for me.

Don was our neighbor when I was a kid growing up. he drove the cutest VW bug. I cannot tell you how many times he would put a few of us in his little car to go sleigh riding at Forest Hill Park every year. He was a great guy and I want the family to know how many great memories he brought to me. I remember the time when he decided to go down the road instead of the hill, which was a total sheet of ice.All of a sudden we saw him go over the side. He got up all bruised and said I´m OK. Don...
