Don's love for motorcycle racing started as a young teenager and became his passion. He won many races throughout high school into his young adulthood. He had many published articles written about his "bikes" in magazines throughout the years. Don also loved the outdoors spending time at his property up north working on his cabin, boating and fishing. He enjoyed traveling to warmer weather in the winter. (Florida & Hawaii)

Don worked right out of high school for Phil's Cycle (Pontiac) and became a certified master mechanic for Anderson Motorcycle (Farmington Hills) until he retired in 2016.

Don was a loyal friend to many including his high school friends. Always ready to help where he could.

There will be a private graveside for family because of the stay at home order in Michigan.
