Donald served in the U.S. Navy, a chapter of life marked by duty and steady commitment. He later worked for Coca Cola for 20 years, bringing the same reliability and care to his work that he offered to those around him.
Donald was married to Mary Teters and was the proud father of four children and a step daughter. He was also a devoted grandfather to many grandchildren, and his family remained at the center of his life and legacy.
A compassionate presence to those who knew him, Donald found meaning in making and serving. He enjoyed many hobbies, especially woodworking—crafting bird houses and furniture with patient hands and quiet pride. He also gave his time as a volunteer through his church, living his faith through consistent acts of help and kindness.
Donald belonged to Unity Church of Tustin, where he found fellowship and a community of shared belief. He will be remembered with respect and gratitude by all who had the privilege to know him.
