Donald Falls Obituary
Our beloved husband, son, father, brother and friend, Donald Lee Falls, 66, of Edinburg, VA passed away on February 11, 2021 at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Jacksonville, FL after a courageous battle with cancer. His jokes, infectious humor, and laughter were with him until the end.
Don grew up in Alderson, WV and served in the United States Marine Corps from 1974 - 1977, stationed at Quantico, VA as a weapons instructor for junior officers. Living in Northern Virginia, he worked as Operations Manager in corporate contract security, from which he retired in 2006, when he and his wife moved to Shenandoah County.
Don touched and enriched so many people's lives and helped so many with their own personal struggles in WV, NoVA, CA and FL -- that had become his mission during his nearly 30-year membership in the fellowship of Bill W's friends.
He is survived by his wife and soulmate Cindi of Edinburg, VA, mother Mabel Doggett of Alderson, WV, sons Robbie of Alderson, and Brett of Edinburg, daughter Nichole Berridge of Dumfries, VA, sister Betty Doggett Redden of Charleston, WV, four grandchildren, and one great grandchild.
Don was larger than life, and therefore has left a void larger than usual for those who knew him.

Don will be missed by the many whose lives he touched and made better, mine among them. Don was one of the good guys, a fiercely loyal friend. He will be remembered most for his sense of humor - sometimes irreverent - that made us laugh and lifted our spirits. Don's voice is quieted but many wonderful memories remain. My deepest sympathies and prayers are with his family he loved so dearly.
