Prayers for all the family. Sonia and I were just talking about him a few days ago. A loving husband, father, friend gone too soon. I am sure he will be watching over all of you from above.

Don was a true friend. I met Don Big D as we called him, in 87 while I was working as a paramedic at Sports Creek raceway and he worked on the track. Through the years we bought hay from him and later became neighbors. We always enjoyed it when he would come and visit with us on his golf cart. He is iconic .. He is a true friend and I will really miss him. Rest In Peace my friend.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of such a wonderful man. I will miss Don stopping in to visit on his golf cart. Loved to hear his stories. Rest in Peace my brother. Prayers to his family and friends.

To Don's family,
We are sorry for your loss. Asking Jesus to wrap his loving arms around all of you and to comfort you during this difficult time. Sending love. Nancy and Leland
