Don Prater.....always with a smile, always on the verge of the next fit of laughter.

In his company, the sun always shone a little brighter.

I will always be grateful for the memories of him. 

He was very special to each of us, whose lives he touched. 




Uncle Don was such a great man. My best memories are growing up as a little girl and going to the cabin with him and his family. He would always take us out on great adventures, teach me new things, make me shaped pancakes, tell stories, and bring us horse back riding. I will miss you. Wish I could be there with the family in these times. Condolences and prayers to all❤️ 

I will miss the stories I got to hear every time I visited Don about taxes.  He was a lovely gentleman that will be sorely missed.

Don was an integral part of the Mizzou family here in Phoenix. I will miss seeing you at watch parties and the picnics we used to attend together.  May you rest in peace with love from all of your tiger family.

We Loved Uncle Don very much and We will miss him. Our Love and Prayers go out to his remaining family.

What fond memories the Mexico High class of 49 share. It is sad when one of us passes, but how blessed we are to have had the opportunity to grow up in Mexico. Don was so good with communicating  with us through the years. His gift with words was exceptional.  I will truly miss h is emails. God bless you all.  Fondly, Jean Carol

Throughout most of my life, Uncle Don sent me and my 6 siblings birthday and Christmas cards. He was a stable and loving person in my life and I will forever cherish our family get-togethers and later the random phone calls to catch up, to laugh, and to share stories and memories. His tales of growing up sometimes differed slightly from my dad's so it was always great fun to go back and share what I had learned from Uncle Don and see if dad would change his story! Our calls in the past 2 months will forever be in my heart. I know that he, dad and aunt Priscilla are enjoying being lifted up together into heaven for their reunion with R.C. and their folks. My love and prayers go out to all my cousins, first, second and third!!💕

I was fortunate to have this wonderful man for a grandfather!  My daughter was lucky to have a wonderful great Grandfather, he was truly great!

Donald C Prater....my Arizona dad.... your love and friendship has meant the world to me.  My parents loved and adored you and always counted on you to watch over me when they couldn't.  I will miss you more than you could imagine. RIP, my friend, and know I will never forget you.  Thank you for always treating me like I was one of your own.  I love you, Don.  God Bless you and M-I-Z forever. 

A True Son of Mizzou and faithful Tiger! I will miss you.
