Not sure what to say?

Uncle Don was one of my favorites and I know he was one of my husbands too. Don was alway there when we needed something. The loan of his and Juanita's house when our son died and to baby sit for John when he broke his arm in Delano riding saddle bronc horse when he wasn't supposed to. He had to go to the hospital.
He will always be in our hearts and in our minds.

Love, John D. and Natalie Garside

Don is my father's (Bud Deatherage)
cousin. When my father passed away in 1992, Don and Juanita spent some time at my home. It was wonderful hearing the old stories and getting re-aquainted with them. Don is such a dear sweet man. I wish I could have spent more time around him. My condolences to the family, I know that Don will be greatly missed.

To a dear cousin and life long friend, goodbye for now. To the family, our prayers are with you. Shirley and I send our love.

Jaunita and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Don and I started to school together in Jayton. We share mutual cousins. Don is now in the arms of our Lord. Bless your family.
Love, Patsy Jo Jones-Leibert

I

worked with Mr. Gallagher when I worked for the City of Delano. He was the

kindest, sweetest man anyone could ever know. He always had a smile on his

face and I don't think I ever saw him in a bad mood. He will be truly missed,

I'm sure.....

My fondest memories of Don are of watching him with Hunter and Carson when they were little. He took great pleasure in his family, and their friends were just extended family to Don and Juanita. His legacy lives on in the lives of those he touched, you could not know Don without leaving a better person. My deepest condolences to Juanita, Diana, Patrick, Donnell and the rest of the family.
