Donald Raymond O'Heir, age 89, of Orland Park, IL, passed away peacefully on July 31, 2025. A devoted family man and respected professional, Don lived a full and generous life rooted in love, faith, and service.

Don dedicated many years to Jewel, where he worked with integrity and pride, retiring as a store manager in 1992. His calm leadership and steady work ethic left a lasting impression on both coworkers and customers alike.

He was the beloved husband of 62 years to the late Marietta O'Heir (née Rielly), and a loving father to Don O'Heir, Lynn (Mike) LeVigne, and John O'Heir. Don found great joy in being a grandfather and cherished every moment spent with DJ O'Heir, Michael (Stephanie), Matthew, and Marcus LeVigne.

Don was the dear son of the late Mathew and Helen (nee Hartfield) O'Heir, and a proud uncle to his niece and several nephews. He was known for his quiet strength, warm smile, and deep devotion to his family.
