Donna, Darlene, and Family So Sad to learn of Don's passing - but rejoicing for him as he is with our Lord! Don is one of the nicest people I have known as well as he "walked" the example of a Christian brother!! I know he will be sorely missed. Praying for God's comfort in the days ahead as I know it takes much time to heal from a loss of someone you dearly love - but God's Grace is Sufficient!

Darlene,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Although I personally did not have the opportunity to meet your dad, if it is any indication of the wonderful, caring, loving person that you are then I feel as though I've known him forever. We will never forget the love, support and kindness that you and our "Ohio" family gave to us in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. You were all truly a blessing to us then. Please know that our love and support are now with you and your family and if ever you should need us don't hesitate to call.
Sending you much love and endless prayers, your "New Orleans" family, Dawn, Billy, Cody and Aunt Jackie.

We are deeply saddened to lose such a great man of God and friend. We saw the example of Christ working in Don's life as he served us in the Christian bookstore that we had in the 1980's. He also served our prayer ministry for schools

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush;
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight;
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
Darlene God bless you and your family.
All our love,
Kevin,Margaret, Breana, Meaghan, Kevin & Katie

With deepest sympathy.....Words cannot express our feelings of deep sadness, yet great joy of Don's homegoing. He was an amazing man of God who has made a great impact on the world he lived in, and our lives. He will always be fondly remembered in our hearts as a shining example of the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Don was a respected leader of his family. He was passionate about his faith in Jesus. He volunteered with many causes for children and faith-based groups. He was an entrepenuer. He made a great impact in his world and positively influenced many. Mogadore and the Akron is better because of Don Ebie.

Darlene & Family,
We are so sorry for your loss but you know he shines from above. We did not know your father/grandfather personally but the stories you have shared with us were about an amazing man. Thank you for letting us share in these stories. The goodness of your father/grandfather shows in all of you. Our deepest sympathy goes out to you but take comfort in your faith knowing he is with God.

Dear Donna and Family,
So sorry for your loss.
We remember coming to your house or you coming to ours. Don and Jerry had to see who ate the most chicken. It was always great. It was something Jerry has mentioned often. We know the Lord is with you and your whole family, may he continue to comfort you. We love you all. Jerry, Marilyn and the Parker Family
