We can't be there, but I wanted you to know that we share your sorrow in the passing of Don.  Our families were so close for such a long time. We lived in the same neighborhood, played on the same ball field, attended the same schools, had the same teachers, and worked at some of the same places. 
Norman was the older brother I never had.  His passing broke my heart.
Now Don rests with Norman.  Both endured extraordinary challenges.  Both died way too soon.
Doug & Jackie Kenyon

DJ & Kyle, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families. Don was the  avid fisherman and outdoorsman and he shared that with everyone he came into contact with. I will always remember hunting at his sister Beverly's farm and tagging my first deer with him.  Thanksgiving to never forget: going to the Lions game and eating dinner at the Scotch and Ale because Biscuit the dog ate the turkey! We all have so many fond memories - embrace them and know he was loved - Uncle Martin and family

Sending my deepest sympathy,  may Dons memories continue to give you strength. God Bless.

On behalf of my mom, dad and I,we send our love to you boys and your family. We have many good memories of your times when you were young. We enjoyed your visits and enjoyed talking with your dad. We know that this a very hard thing to go through, may you know that God loves you and we do also.
         
                             Uncle Arlen, Aunt Maebelle Brooks and Judy Rosenberger

Our thoughts and prayers to Don's family.
The Scantland family

Donny I will never forget all of those Labor Day weekends. Your family would travel here to our home and sleep in our pop- up camper in the back yard. Then we would travel together the next day to Traverse City for the Kenyon Family Reunion. We would stay up all night visiting. How you made me laugh:) We ALWAYS had the best time!
Rest in Peace Dear Cousin
Until we meet again

Dear Kenyon Family,  you have our deepest sympathy during this difficult time. Love and prayers,  Richard and Marcia Demute

I love you dad you are truly loved deeply and we know you are walking in the presence of God with your family by your side

Dear Kenyon Family,
So sad to hear of Donnie's passing. Tho it has been a long time since seeing or talking to him, I will be forever sad that this is no longer a possibility.
When I got the news my mind instantly went to fond memories,my tears were followed by a smile.
Glad he now free from pain, he will always be remembered by the Grand Rapids cousins with huge LOVE and BIG SMILES.

You have always been part of our family Donald We laughed all the time we were together, Hart,MI, Consus Lake, NY and Sebastian, FL and of course Warren. I am so glad I got back to see you and our grandchildren last summer. They are just beautiful just like you told me when we talked on the phone. Be at peace with our God and give my beloved Martin a hug for me until I am with you both
Love Always Irene Thiele(Mom)

Family is important. Brothers are important. You are important Donny; we will always miss you.
