Don Ray Turbeville

in Carrollton, Texas.

Don was born on November 3, 1946 to Edd and Ila Turbeville in Dallas, Texas. He grew

up in West Oak Cliff. As a young teenage boy he had a paper route in which

he delivered for the Times Herald. As a Times Herald carrier he advanced to the highest

position for carriers, Senior Executive, in less than 2 years. With the money he made

from his route, he purchased stamps for his stamp collection of all the major countries

around the world. In addition to collecting stamps he enjoyed collecting baseball cards,

playing baseball, and was involved in Boy Scout Troop 532. Don attended and graduated

from Justin F. Kimball High school in Dallas. It was during his high school years that he

developed a love for bowling. He graduated in 1965 and shortly after enlisted in the

United States Army. While enlisted Don served in Vietnam as a Supply Clerk and

received several medals for his service, including the National Defense Service Medal,

Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, and SS Badge (M14). Don rarely

mentioned his service in Vietnam, but he survived two bouts of sinus cancer and was

diagnosed with diabetes as a result of his exposure to Agent Orange during Vietnam.

Following his honorable discharge from the United States Army, Don met and married

the love of his life, Deborah Turbeville (Johnson) on October 3, 1970. Together they

raised three children, Tamara Barnes (Chennault), Jon Turbeville, and Lee Ann Turbeville. Through out their marriage they made many moves in and out of Texas. While living in Texas Don began his career with Whataburger in Spring, Texas. He would eventually relocate to the Dallas area where he continued his career with Whataburger. While living in Desoto, Texas he was the chief operating officer of Barrand Inc., which owned 47 Whataburgers in Texas and Florida. The stores that Don was over were often the top in the nation. He did not just work for Whataburger, but one of his favorite meals was a Whataburger with no lettuce or pickles and an order of onion rings. Don would eventually retire from this position. After retirement he moved to Lewisville, Texas in order to be near his mother, Ila Turbeville. Don was very dedicated to his mother and would visit her daily at 10 am to watch the Price is Right. In his free time he enjoyed playing golf and bowling. At the time of his death, he was a member of the AMF Lewisville Bowlers League.
