Donald Edward Esber, 67 of Canton, Ohio, was welcomed into the loving arms of his Lord on January 25, 2023. A lifetime resident of Canton, he was born to the late Joseph and Mary Ellen (Slinger) Esber. He was a graduate of Oakwood High School. He was definitely a character, and those who knew him liked and loved him. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends. Don was very generous and enjoyed making people laugh. He was most proud of his children and grandchildren, and his heart was full when spending time with his family. As a lover of adventure, Don's hobbies included biking, traveling, scuba diving, snow skiing and photography just to name a few. He was passionate about and great at his job, selling real estate for 44 years.
He is preceded in death by his parents and his wife and mother of his children, Debbie (Baird). Don is survived by his children Leah (Joe) Morris, Kyle (Angela) Esber, four grandchildren Micah, Hannah, Eden, and Grace Morris, sister JoAnn (Bob) Grisak, and nieces and nephews. Family and friends will be received on Monday, January 30th from 10 to 12 p.m. at the Rossi Family Funeral Home with services to begin at 12 p.m., Pastor Jake Tovissi officiating. Interment will be in Sunset Hills Burial Park.

We here at the Stark Trumbull Area REALTORS send our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Don Esber. I personally was very fond of Don. He always made me smile by bringing a bottle of wine when he would stop to pay his REALTOR dues. He will be missed.

I learned to be bold and just keep moving forward. Worked with Don from 1998-2002. Thoughts with Kyle, Leah and their families.

Don was a great friend. Grew up together. Sold me my first duplex and I had a blast with him showing me properties. We had so much fun. He had me laughing the whole time. Going to miss running into him here and there. Just seen him a couple months ago at my doctor's office and we talked a little while. This really caught me off guard and it saddens me. R. I. P Don.
