My wife and I recently discovered that Don had journeyed to his eternal home.  We were considering adding a sun-room to our house, and immediately thought of contacting him.  Don finished our basement about 15 years ago, and I have never worked with a more talented, honest contractor.  His creativity and attention to detail designing my man cave continues to receive compliments.  We wish we could’ve known Don outside of our working relationship, but feel privileged that we were able to know him as we did.

I will always remember one of my best friends!! Rest In Peace my friend.
Sure do miss you..
Till we meet again .....

So many stories and good memories of Donny. We were born on the same day at Sparrow Hospital, although at that time I lived in Lansing. We wouldn’t meet until 2nd grade when my family moved to Mason. He and I were in the principal’s so many times together that when I ran into the principal after graduation, he asked me how Donny was doing. 

I was sad to hear of his passing. He was a golden light in the world and will be missed. 

Don & I met in high school.  The things I remember most were the music he supplied to a lot of parties including my own.  He would play his collection of records, which I still like the songs today.  We worked together one summer installing seamless rain gutters.  He was fearless as we walked to the edge of roofs to secure the rain gutter, hitting the nails with a sideways hammer so as to never miss.  He would even hang his head fearlessly over the edge to look down the eave to see if it was perfect.  Although next summer he moved on to building grain silos, it was fun working with him.  He sold me the hubcaps off his Buick Riviera and I had them on my Chevy pickup forever until I sold it in 2010, always reminded me of him.  We had a good time being each others wingman.  I’m sure he has wings now, as he was one of the good ones.   

It's hard when we loose some one so special to us . Don  lives in are minds now forever I'll see you on the other side Don . We made some of the best and finest memorys , fishing , building , racing , You made me rich with your friendship.  

Donny Bedes,   I will always remember being a freshmen football player, and he and another guy pushed me out into the hallway in my underwear.   In those days, that was normal hazing for a freshman,  I learned not to walk around the locker in underwear. ( I think is was scott cordano?)
The cheerleaders were all in the hallway as well,  and I had to run around to back door of locker room.      He was just laughing his head off.   Ran into him year or two ago at Pub in Mason,  told him about that story and he just cracked up.    Always a good time



Spent a lot of time hanging out at the Bedes pad growing up.  Donnie and I got in a lot of trouble together running around the neighborhood on Eifert Road - always makes me laugh when I think about it.  Didn't see each other much in recent years, but when we did cross paths, we always talked about the "old days" and had some good laughs together - some stories only we knew about.

Joe, Mary, Steve, and family - I'm thinking about you!

So many memories my friends... You will be so missed,  may Jesus  comfort your loving family, spread your wings and fly with no more pain in your life..  Love Always,  Jeannene McGill  ❤

I loved watching Donny play football, way back when. He was ferocious on the field and probably why I chose golf instead. ;).  He was always kind towards me and I have many  fond memories of the laughter we shared. And that mischievous smile.....
May God's love surround you and comfort those who love you.

When I think of Donny, I think of him laughing and smiling. He had a mischievous laugh and a great toothy grin that lit up the room. 

I knew him in High School and he was a good guy and will be missed.  Party Hearty Don, we'll be along shortly!

Don, the memories of you fishing at my folks, helping them with repairs, laughing with my dad...oh, how you two related and bonded with each other, even though he was old enough to be your dad.   Dad's stroke took his speech years ago, but you knew what he was thinking and said it for him! 
 I think you two would have been best friends if you had been the same age, and Lord help us if you had been in high school together!  Fishing and hunting, that would have been first on your list! 
 When mom passed and I needed the door fixed, I didn't know who else to call, and you came and did what needed to be done and wouldn't let me pay you.  And when we had to part with their house and had a garage sale, you asked if you could have dad's hat and shirt because that's what you remembered him  wearing on the tractor.   Sweet memories, Don!  All good memories!  You were there when you were needed and even when you weren't!  To Don's family, I virtually hug you and wish I had words of comfort, but there are none.  Don will be missed!

Hey Don, remember when I won that Go kart race and you were so happy that was one great night with you.Love ya Bud, you'll be missed dearly, LOVE YA DON💙💙💙💙

Hey Don, remember when I won that Go kart race and you were so happy, pushing me on the scales, that was one great night being with you. You'll be missed dearly. Love ya Bud to the moon and back, LOVE YA DON💙💙💙💙

Nothing but good memories with this guy. Rest Easy, Don. 
❤ Jackie & I'm sure the rest of the Charlie's Gang. We were lucky to have known you.  

Donny, remember playing flag football in gym class? You plowed me over once and you were so sorry and so sweet to me. You were a very nice guy. I'm sorry we didn't know each other as adults.....I have a feeling you would have been a very loyal and good friend. Rest in peace, fellow Bulldog.

Soar with the angels my friend, you were the first friend I met in Mason, and we had alot of fun , and times, will see you on the other side , and have me a cold one ready
