Donald Wayne Attaway

“Cool Don” Attaway was born in Alabama and raised in Little Bit of Everywhere U.S.A. Like his father, “Cool Don” joined the military in October of 1969 where he served our country in the Vietnam War in the Marine Corps. He obtained Lance Corporal within the Marine Corps he was a proud veteran. After his time in the Marine Corps he began working at the St. Clair County Correctional Facility as a correctional officer. After 20 plus years “Cool Don” retired from his state job and returned home to what he loved most, his family. Oh, and let’s not forget fishing and Alabama Football.

Wayne leaves behind his loving wife of 45 years , Debbie Attaway. This love produced a marital nest of children and grandchildren that Wayne adored. You can best believe that Wayne’s family is where his treasure was because that’s where his heart was. His presence will be surely missed by all his family and friends.
