Donald attended Jeff Davis High School and was a member and former officer of IBEW Local Union 716 for 60 years. He proudly served his country in the Korean conflict in the U.S Marine Corps from 1953 - 1956. He was an avid football fan – loved his Texans and cheered on the Aggies where his daughter Denise graduated from school. He was also a true outdoorsman who loved to hunt, fish and water ski, but his true hobby was barbequing and enjoyed entering his award-winning brisket in area BBQ cookoffs and loved cooking for his family and friends.
Donald is survived by his daughters Denise Wagner Hilsher and her husband Jay Hilsher, and Dena Wagner, his grandson Austin Kluth and his great granddaughter Sophia Ragland.
