Donald Borst Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Trahan Family Funeral Home of Milton on Dec. 16, 2025.
Donald Terry Borst "Dooda", 77 years old, gained his wings on November 30th, 2025. He was born to Dorothy Smith and Jerome Borst on April 11, 1948, in Pensacola, Florida

Don resided in Navarre, FL. He was a proud Vietnam Army Staff Sergeant Veteran. Don was a loyal member of his local VFW and was post commander for several years. Don was also a member of his local American Legion. Anyone that Don met instantly became his family. He called everyone his adopted son or daughter. Everyone who met him loved him tremendously. His favorite pastime was singing karaoke with all of his good friends. Never missed it!

Don loved his late wife Tina with every beat of his heart, and we know he has joined her in the afterlife.

Don is survived by his daughters, Randel Kesler, Rachel Osterhoff, and Hope Borst. Also, there is an abundance of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His fellow comrades at the VFW and American Legion will truly miss him.

Don was truly one of a kind and would help anyone he could. He will be missed tremendously.
