Don was an avid sports fan, cheering on the Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia Eagles, Orlando Magic, and Penn State Nittany Lions. He was also a talented musician and athlete, once holding several records as a Cross-Country runner in Pennsylvania. Don was cherished as a great husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, son, and friend.

He is survived by his wife of 20 years, Eve, his son Don, Jr (Tammy), his daughter Stacey Watson (Cory), his granddaughter Haylie, his grandson Drew, his granddaughter Kaycee, and his great-granddaughter Sophia. He is also survived by his sister Judy Evans. Don was preceded in death by his father Clarence, his mother Marion, and his sister Nancy.
