He was born in Kansas City, Missouri. He was an Air Force vet and an avid Chiefs fan.
He is survived by his wife Vicky, son David, and daughter Margaret. His family will miss him and the jokes he told every time he saw them. Don also leaves a brother, Jim, and a sister, Dolores. Don never passed on the chance to say I was the love of his life. I'm sure going to miss him.
A Celebration of Life will be held at White Chapel Funeral Home, 6600 NE Antioch Rd, Gladstone, MO 64119, US, on June 15, 2026, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
