I worked with Don  at Hillcrest Hospital  while he was going to Nursing School.   We had an instant connection.   I was a lot older than him but he became instant friends  with my husband and me. We joined the hospital bowling league and had so much fun.  We always laughed so much.   Every thing was funny to us.   On payday we always stopped at the Cork n bottle for a drink.
We went to the auto show every year..  When  he moved on, we lost touch.  He found me on Facebook last year. We reconnected.   He was the proudest husband and father I ever listened to.  My heart is broken for your loss.

RIP Don Yahner.  Your family here will always remember what a caring and considerate person you were.  You were always the first to reach out to others for a get together, and make it happen.  My sister in law loved working alongside you as a nurse and her days of working there with you were happy ones.  We were proud of the ongoing achievements and goals you set for yourself.  You will be missed, sincerely.

Don was a colleague of mine. I was blessed to have known and worked with him.
By speaking with Don on a daily basis, be it in the morning before heading to the OR, or after work before heading home one just knew Don was a â€œGood Guyâ€. I will miss Don and our good conversations. 
Don really cared about his patients. I witnessed this every time we were in the same OR together and he was the Circulating Nurse. 
I pray that Don will rest in Godâ€™s eternal peace and love and that Donâ€™s family will be granted solace and comfort in ways only God can give.

Earth wonâ€™t be the same without you, Don.
My cousin Deanne and son Caden were in such good hands with you. 
We will always remember you and your beautiful love for your family, your important work as a nurse, and the fun we had together.

So saddening to hear of Donâ€™s passing . I worked with him for years and will always remember him as a kind and gentle soul. My confidences to the family.

Don was a great friend and coworker. Always willing to lend a hand when needed. I am so sorry for your loss.  My deepest sympathy for your family.  I will be praying for you during the next couple of days.
