Donald Zylstra

Don was a great guy to work with. We were both volunteers on the Oakridge Fire Department. He was a very humble and honest person.

Julie, I am so, so sorry. What a wonderful, happy, kind person Don was. How nice that you had a number of great years together, but they were not enough. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Donny and Julie always made time to come and see myself and Sherry. We were shocked to hear of his passing. Our heartfelt sympathies to Julie and the rest of his large and loving family.
