Donald Paul Jepson

I had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with Don through my fly fishing store in Modesto. He always had smile on his face. My condolences to his family. Tight lines, my friend.

Don was a long time gardener at Church of the Cross at Dale/Snyder. We had not only a bond about gardening , but we both went to UOP . So we always talked about the school . Don kept a well kept plot at the community garden . Blessings to his family.

We will miss Don, and have missed Kathy, as being part of our great neighborhood. We are so glad, that through the COVID years and moving forward, we were able to learn and share so much from Don and Kathy at our weekly neighborhood gatherings. Our sympathies as you mourn the loss of Don. Sincerely, Marilyn and Stephen Smith

I was lucky to have known Don for over 44yrs since I was born. I consider him like a father to me. He was my dad's best friend growing up. I have so many great memories of him taking me fishing and backpacking when I was young. He would always say "we don't need to pack dinner we'll catch on the river" And he always did. I always enjoyed talking Giants baseball with aunt Kathy you guys took me to my first game and became a fan ever since. The homemade ice cream he would make on the 4th of...

Jim and I knew Don and Kathy from our time in the Mariners at Trinity. Don hired me to work in the lab at Tri-Valley! I worked there for 3 summers. There was no questioning that he was the smartest person in the room! However, he lead, taught, and supervised with genuine kindness, respect and humor! I will not forget those times at work and at Trinity. Jim and I send our love to the family.

Mr Jepson was my favorite patient at modesto post acute slowly day by day we created a special bond even on the days I didn't have him as my patient I would still go to his room and he spot me and just smile he was so kind and sweet regardless of how he was feeling he always had a smile I will forever cherish those moments may you R.i.p mr jepson love Rachel my deepest condolences and sincere condolences to all the family

I hired Don at Campbell Soup Co. in the mid 1960's. A very smart guy, cheerful and always upbeat. After I resigned and took another job in Southern California, we lost contact, but Marty Belleville, whom I also hired at the job in SoCal, always kept me up-to-date on Don's whereabouts and activities. So. there is a connection between the three of us that goes way back. I really liked Don and his congeniality always stood out so clearly as prominently noted in his obituary.

We were blessed to have Don in our lives for 44 years. He was the go-to guy....always ready to help no matter the situation....volunteering, making a pot of chili, hosting a party. Don rarely checked his schedule...his immediate answer was, "Yes, I´ll help," in that gentle & thoughtful Don Jepson way. We are thankful for Don´s generous friendship. He will be greatly missed.
