Donald Ketron Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 13, 2025.
Donald Reid Ketron, affectionately known as Don, passed away peacefully June 9, 2025. Don, born April 30, 1946, lived just the way he wanted-no apologies, no compromises. He was a proud United States Army veteran, having served in Vietnam from 1965 to 1967.

Don was preceded in death by his devoted wife and soulmate, Shirley Patterson White Ketron of Eagle Rock, Virginia; his father LB Ketron of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia; and his brother Thomas Richard "Tommy" Ketron of Leesburg, Virginia.

Don is survived by:

- Mother Mary Ketron of Leesburg, Virginia.

- Brothers: Ronnie Ketron of Warrenton, VA; Robert Ketron of Leesburg, VA; Larry Ketron (and wife Sue) of Dickerson, MD; and David Ketron (and wife Lisa) of Abbottstown, PA.

- Daughter Kimberly White-DePriest, grandsons Austin Salyards, Alex Salyards, Cullen White and great-granddaughter Gracelyn Salyards, of Eagle Rock, Virginia.

- Son Jeff Ketron and grandson Jeffrey Wayne Ketron, of Winchester, Virginia.

- Along with several nieces and nephews from across the family.

Don's wishes for his final resting place are being honored with a private family gathering. In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to honor Don's memory with donations to Disabled Veterans of America (https://www.dav.org).
