Years later Don married Pam Davis of Eula and added children Misti & Paul. Don worked as an Oilfield Superintendent and along with Pam had a successful show lamb business, Southpaw Sheep Farm. Don served multiple terms as President of Cross Plains ISD School Board as well as leadership roles at the Callahan County Livestock Assn. and other civic boards.
PaDon was immensely proud of his Grandchildren. He enjoyed attending sporting events, recitals, and livestock shows whenever possible and never missed a graduation.
Don lived in Abilene for several years and worked in Real Estate. He was married to Marsha Severson at this time. He later retired and moved back to Rowden. His favorite retirement activities were daily "errands" to Abilene / Cross Plains and beyond and attending Second Chance Cowboy Church.
