Donald Killeen Obituary
June 5, 1937 - August 10, 2020
Don was born 6/5/1937 in San Jose, CA to Edmond and Iva Killeen. He was a long-time resident of Livingston where he graduated high school. Don was a very proud Army veteran and faithful San Francisco Giants and 49ers fan. Don worked for 20+ years in civil engineering and loved to "tinker" and fix things and was always willing to help. He loved the lord and was strong in his faith. He was a member of the First Southern Baptist Church of Winton for more than 40 years. Don enjoyed his weekly coffee date with his buddies. He never met a stranger, had a story for every occasion and loved his family. Don made his transition to be with the lord 8/10/2020. He is preceded death by his spouse of 32 years, Ionia Killeen and his son James Killeen, his brothers, and sister. He leaves behind his companion, Sarah Adams. To carry on his legacy, he leaves three children, Donna Louise Killeen Barnes, Donald Louis Killeen Jr. and Heather Denice Loreto, 10 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren. In addition, Don has a large extended family with many more "grandchildren" and "great grandchildren" as well as those who are proud to call him a friend. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Services will be held Tuesday, August 18,2020 9:30 AM viewing and 10:00AM service at the First Southern Baptist Church, 7264 Myrtle Ave, Winton, CA. Proceeding services, will be graveside service with military honors at Winton Cemetery

It was a pleasure to have met Don at Coffee Group when I joined two years ago. He was always smiling and was fun to be around. You will be missed Don.

My memories of Don Killen, were how he was always so pleasant, always smiling, and always seemed to be happy while we were going through our school years... I didn't see Don after high school, except at the class reunions, but again, he was always there, with a big smile ... R.I.P. Don your smile will always be with you... And you will be missed ...

I’ve known Don since we were kids in Livingston. I remember him coming to our home and my mom would start feeding him fresh tortillas and bean s and etc. he really enjoyed it. He would then go out and play with my older brother Joe. Later on in years he was in High School. After that we lost track. My brother Joe started a group of friends meeting on the first Saturday of the month for breakfast of old friends of Livingston. He would come to our home for a ride with us. We always had a great time. Afterward he came back home with us. He and my husband John would sit in our front yard and we would chat for hours. Great memories. I was good friends with his brother Jimmy. Great guy also. May he Rest In Peace. Truly be missed. Love. Carol Torres Johnson ❤❤❤
