He was born in Indianapolis on October 15, 1951, to Donald Loyd and Geneva (McNeely) Edwards. He graduated from Warren Central High School in 1970. Don married his "Darlin" Linda Ann (Querry) on June 7, 1970, in Indianapolis.

Don worked for the Indianapolis Star and News, where he was a pressman from 1971 until 2016. Don was a graphic communications, IBT Local 128 union member of the Star and News for many years.
