Donald Seeley Jr.

Donald "Don" Seeley, Jr., a beloved father, grandfather, son, and friend, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 23, 2025, at the age of 65.
Born in Michigan on November 11, 1959, the son of Donald Seeley, Sr. and Ursala Seeley. He married Bonnie Crawford and they later divorced. On January 24, 2004, Don married his soul mate, Donna Stover and she preceded him in death on May 15, 2023.
Don worked as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic at Home Nursery in Breese, Illinois, where his expertise and dedication were highly regarded. His love for machinery was only rivaled by his love for his family and his zest for life.
Don is survived by his cherished parents, Donald Seeley, Sr. and Ursala Seeley, and his five loving children: Dean Jones, Donald Seeley, III, Sierra Seeley, Thomas Jones, and Jeffrey Jones. He leaves behind his treasured grandchildren, including Desirae, Karli, and Deacon Seeley, along with many more who fondly knew him as Grandpa.
