After graduation, Don spent the next 36 years in the consumer finance and credit divisions with Toyota motor credit, Capital One and for the last 15 years with Hyundai, most recently as Senior Manager Consumer Credit. Don was a conscientious dedicated employee who excelled in his job and truly enjoyed what he was doing as well as the people he was working with.

Don is survived by Brothers Wesley (Kathy) Scheibel, Stephen Scheibel, John (Mary) Scheibel, Christopher (Susan) Scheibel, and Jeffrey (Susan) Scheibel as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, their spouses, and families. Also survived by numerous friends and coworkers.

Donald was a kind, compassionate, and generous brother. He possessed an unrivaled sense of humor, and his smile was infectious which was bound to cheer up anyone around him. Don cherished not only his family but his many friends as well. He would never hesitate to help anyone in need and developed lifelong friendships with not only his work family, but also those in his extended social circle. He was an avid Texas Rangers baseball fan and was a dedicated season ticket holder who for many years cheered on his team. He made many lifelong friends among those fans seated around him in section 210 of Globe Life Field.
