Donald Ray Oakley 80 of Newburgh, IN passed away Thursday, September 6, 2018. He was born in Evansville, IN on August 4, 1938.
He loved flowers and the garden. Donald enjoyed listening to the Grand Old Opry each and every Friday and Saturday night. He was a very introverted man, who enjoyed life with his family and especially, his grandkids. He was always appreciative and never wanted more in life than what he had. In his 80 years he said he learned: Be honest, be nice to people, work hard, never intentionally harm anyone, take it easy and enjoy life. Stay calm and let situations and people work through things. Donald attended St. Mathews and Terrence Park Baptist where he was baptized. He worked construction with his father and at the First Avenue Trim Shop with his father in law. Donald retired from the Evansville Fire Department. During his 27 year career as a firefighter he was a lieutenant and a captain.
