Donald Albert Wruck, age 66, of Lansing, Michigan, passed away on October 17, 2026. Born June 8, 1960, in Saginaw, Donald’s life was marked by steady devotion to family, faithful service, and a quiet determination to keep learning and growing through each season of life.
Donald graduated from Douglas MacArthur High School in Saginaw in 1978. He later enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and was stationed on Okinawa, a chapter of his life that reflected his sense of duty and willingness to serve. In later years, he continued to pursue knowledge by taking computer programming courses online at American Intercontinental University.
A man who valued time well spent, Donald found enjoyment in the outdoors through fishing and hunting. He was also a loyal fan of the Detroit Lions and Michigan State football, following the teams with enduring enthusiasm.
Donald was a member of Hope Lutheran Church in DeWitt for many years, where his long-standing connection reflected the importance of faith and community in his life.
Donald is survived by his daughter, Jennifer (Jeremy) Jones; three grandchildren, Haley, Nathan, and ELizabeth; and his sisters, Patricia (Michael) Vierow and Penny Thompson; numerous nieces and nephews.
