Donald E. Mohr

March 28, 1967 - November 16, 2020

Donald E. Mohr has left his earthly body on Nov. 16, 2020 and has gone to the great beyond. From the day he was diagnosed with cancer which had spread throughout his body, he passed away 24 days later. Towards the end he found comfort in his belief in God, comfort from hospice care, his immediate family, their sweet cat Lil Bits and the best comfort of all from his soul mate, the love of his life, Janice by his side. The two were inseparable. They loved nature, animals, the outdoors, rock hunting, Relay for Life, going to Arroyo Seco and vacationing at the beaches in Hawaii and Florida. They were planning an RV trip to all the national parks next year and on his way to the ER he said they will probably have to take that trip in their next life together.

Donald's life has been cut short but in his 53 years he had such an impact on everyone he came across with his humor, kindness, sweet nature and love of family. He had so many hobbies throughout the years such as coin collecting, playing video games, various art projects, carpentry, buying and selling on eBay, estate sales and when he lived in Oregon, he would take his Mom with him to sell various collectibles at the Svenson Flea Market. Indeed he was a momma's boy. Proud of it. They were buddies since the time he was a toddler comforting our mother while our dad served in Vietnam. Donald was such an interesting, inquisitive, talented, friendly, funny and loving person. We're gonna miss him and his twinkle-in-the-eye smile. Thankfully we will be comforted with many wonderful memories. Heaven is laughing and have a party.

Donald is survived by many loved ones. His partner in life, Janice, her mother Anita, her sister Diane (husband Tom), her brother Mark (wife Twila). On the Mohr side are his children. Son, Brandon (wife Justine), granddaughter Autumn. Daughter, Amber (fiancée Nathan). Son, Donald Jr, grandson Akira. His 81-year old mother Tsutako, sister Janet and her kids Emmie and Roland, sister Tats and her husband Tim, brother Charlie, brother Tommy and his kids Gerrit, Adrian and Nikolas, niece Danielle (George), Aunt Charlotte of Florida, Uncle Dennis (Dorothy) of Oregon, Uncles Joe (Linda) and Earl of Las Vegas, Aunt Betty of Hollister and many more cousins, nieces and nephews. On the japanese side Uncle Naoto, wife Aunt Taeko and Aunt Misako, husband Uncle Seiichi of Tokyo.

He was preceded in death by father Ronald Mohr, paternal grandparents Mary and Earl Fraser, Uncles Charlie, Lenny, Aunt Joy, cousin Doreen, his maternal grandfather Soji Kitamura, Uncle Shoichi of Nagano, Japan.

The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and social workers at Natividad Hospital, Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital and Heartland Hospice Care, Dr. Smith, nurses Walter and Jason.

Many thanks to Diane, Tom, Janet, Emmie, Tats, Tsutako, Danielle, George, Brandon and Amber. It truly takes a village. Most importantly a special thank you goes to Janice who gave Don the best life, loving care and kept him going so that he could say his goodbyes to everyone. She is truly a living angel.
