Don Sayne Obituary

Donald E. Sayne, December 28, 1940 - June 14, 2015. Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Uncle, Brother and Friend. Words cannot express how much we love you. Our Harley man Don is on his last ride - Laissez les bon temps rouler! At Don's request, no funeral, no flowers please. A private family memorial will be held at a later date.

Dear Kaye, Patty & Johnny, our thoughts are with you. We will always remember Don and our crazy fun times. Kaye we go back a long ways. We have a lot of wonderful fun and crazy memories. Like when we worked with Dorthea at the café, and all the crazy things that went on and all the laughs we all had. We will never forget Don and all the good times we had together.

Don enhanced our lives more than any other person. His sense of humor and laughter was a gift to us all! He was the gentleman of all gentleman; always putting others before himself.

From Sturgis, to Colorado, the Four Corners, Las Vegas, Elko, Wendover and many more: memories of our road trips will never be forgotten!

Thank you our dear sweet Don! We love you more than you'll ever know!

To Kaye & kids what can I say? Our hearts are breaking, but I know Don's memory will burn brightly in our hearts and minds until we all meet again. I love you and will always be there for you.

"Blessed are those who mourn for they will will be comforted."--Matthew 5:4

To my big brother this Sunday morning should have found us riding back from the Elko rally like so many times before, but now you have other places to be and other people to see. Thank you so much for all the firsts you gave me my first BB gun, my first motorcycle ride, my first trip to Yellowstone, and on and on. I will never forget all the work, all the play, all the trips, all the laughs we have shared. I am so grateful; you are the best brother a kid could ever have. I miss you already. Please give mom & dad a hug for me, tell them I will catch up with you all later. Love always, Mike

We are so very glad to have spent a many two wheel miles with you and your loved one riding next to us .
It would be a pleasure to ride with you on again on the other side.
This is one man that was always there with his wealth of knowledge and expertise to lend a helping hand.
All of us are going to miss that big mustache and the laughter that was behind it.
Don will be surely missed by all who knew him.
Ride safe my friend hope to meet up with you again.
