Donald Atkinson Obituary
Donald led a life marked by deep affection and commitment to his family. He was a loving and supportive husband to his wife of 31 years, Angela Joy Atkinson, and a devoted father to his daughter, Crystal Porter, and son, Michael Porter. His role as a grandfather was one he cherished deeply, finding immense joy and contentment in the company of his eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Donald was preceded in death by his mother, Jane Enlow Atkinson, and his brother, Butch Atkinson. His family and friends will remember him not only for his dedication and love but also for the supportive presence he was in their lives.
A graveside service to honor and celebrate Donald's life will be held on September 6th at 2 pm at Jackson City Cemetery. His love for his family was evident in every aspect of his life, especially in the time he spent with his grandchildren, who were his world. He will be dearly missed and forever remembered by all who knew him.
