Don had a love of farming and the outdoors that came about during his adolescence living in North Dakota. Upon moving to Dekalb, Il as a teenager, he met the love of his life, Billie. They would go on to spend the next 53 years together. Don was a devoted family man and was willing to drop everything to help out a friend. He had a passion for hunting, fishing, hiking, and nature. Don treasured his family more than anything and always did what he could to keep us all close to his heart. He always held the interests of others as top priority and touched the lives of so many. His tender heart, loving nature and sense of humor will be deeply missed by all.
