Donald Francis Mentink

I know him as my Uncle Don. His generous and caring nature could always be counted on. Even though we didn't have much time together, he was still a significant impact on my life. Forever grateful.

Don never said an unkind word to me or anyone. He always welcomed people with a smile and something nice to say. He is sorely missed.

I can't say I knew Don for a long time, or extremely well, but I do know that he was a caring, trusting (and trustworthy) man whose absence will make the area a lesser place. I'll miss you, Don.

Don was a friend to me and almost all the people he encountered. He always had a smile and a warm thought. He gave to his friends and our community in so many ways. The community and I will miss him so very much. My prayers are with him and his immediate family and his very large extended family.

I haven't seen Don since summers between college. He was much more than a high school classmate. He was a treasure. What a grin. I still remember pranks we played on each other. I'm very saddened that he is gone. I know he made many, many people smile in his lifetime and will be sorely missed.

Thinking of those who loved Don. He was a high school classmate and friend. The world is a smaller place without him and his giant heart. rip, "donnie"

Don was my best friend ever! I loved him like my brother, I do now and will always miss him. My prayers go out to Tony, Don's Family and his friends.
We were all fortunate to have shared in his life.

"Don was a truly remarkable man who gave much of himself to his family, his friends and his community here in the desert. I was fortunate to call him my friend. My deepest condolences to his family."
