Miss you think of you often Unc ❤️❤️

Don, Don, Don!
What can I say about you that others have not said already. You were a beautiful person that touched many lives including mine.
 You made your friends feel so loved and important every they were around you. You had that charisma and that charm that made you so special.
The love you had for your children and sense of always wanting to protect them was something I admire about you.  And the love for Claudia ... It was evident that she held your heart.
You definitely were "a beautiful thing" and will live in our memory forever. Thank you for all the good times and laughs Gordito.
Now rest in peace and until we meet.

Don we have been friends since we are 15, we have shared many times, memories, good and bad, you have touched and loved so many, heaven called you home to early, you will be missed and never forgotten, rest well my friend

Uncle Donald,
I was so upset to hear of your passing. I’ve learned that things don’t always turn out the way you planned, or the way you think they should. I’m happy I was lucky enough to know you, lucky enough to call you family. You will be forever missed.

Don, what can I say, you brought so much sunshine into our family.  You and Claudia had a special kind of love for one another that not many people could understand,  but you made her happy.  You will never be forgotten, I just wish that we could have had more time with you. Keep them Angels laughing, til we meet again. We love you Don.

Brother, what a gift you had to have touched so many!  As your older brother I always worried about your health and well-being.  I felt I had to be more of a father figure at times, though make no mistake, we are brothers.  This past year, more than any, we were brothers.  I will miss the games of chess, the games of cornhole, our walks and our basketball games in the pool.  But most of all, I will miss you.  You have left a hole in my heart that cannot be repaired.  Until we meet again in the hereafter, where we will raise a glass and I will hear the word "salute", we will "forget about it", and then say "what a beautiful thing".  Love you brother!!

Don was like a father to me when I needed one most. I’ll never forget all of the memories we all had together, all the times we would be holding our stomachs from laughing so hard, all the great dinners he would make, all the music he played. Don spread happiness and joy to everyone all the time, he gave up everything for his family. Rest In Peace to a great man, that will never be forgotten. 

Don , you was one of a kind always smiling and always happy I never seen or heard anyone say something bad about you . You moved but always kept in touch. God speed my brother prayers for family . You will be missed . 

Don is an outstanding Man and Cousin, whom I will never forget! If you know him, you know he’s all about Love of Family! I believe we should keep his legacy alive, by continuing his life’s passion while keeping our Family closely knit by keeping our love flowing! I know he will be looking down on everyone and smiling about his approval of how we all make our love for one another shine! Going to miss our conversations Cuz! Love You, Larry ❤️❤️❤️

The best memory I can picture you in is when you met your fiancé Claudia Martinez I remember it was supposed to be a girls night and it turned into you never leaving Claudia aside from that day I remember how automatically when you came around and moved right across the street for me we became instantly like family uncle and a friend that anytime you would see me sad you would hug me and give me a kiss on my forehead and tell me “ FORGETAAAA BOUT ITTT” lol I will never forget them words that’s truly when you would say that I would literally forget about it thank you so much for being such a wonderful person I love you and we truly miss you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fly high with the angels my Little brother and know you will never be forgotten. I will hold our memories forever! You will always be in our hearts.  I love you ! 

You were one of the best people in my life. Always knew how to make me smile and laugh. Never would hang up the phone with me until I blew you a kiss back even when i was too old it didn’t matter if I was 5 or 35. Never said goodbye unless there was an I love you boopa along with it. You loved everyone with everything you had.  My life will never be the same without you here . I love uncle Donald always. I’ll miss you forever ❤️

Thank you for everything. From the little things like teaching me how to drive, to big things like reminding me to never settle in life, and for being the dad I never had. Love you always. 

You had such a large impact on everyone’s life whom you encountered. You loved so hard and that’s where I get it from. Always willing to give whatever it was you had and not only were you my dad but you were a father to so many children who were with out. You’ll never be forgotten, and you’ll forever be missed. I love you dad! To the moon & back 🌙❤️

You taught me how to mow grass
You taught me how to drive
How.to throw a football
I will miss you dude.
I love you.

You will be missed my brother.  May you Rest In Peace.  Prayers to the family! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Prayers for all, my heart goes out to the whole family. Love you. Please let us help in any way we can.
