His faith was a huge part of who he was and he never wavered.

He was a big part in organizing and facilitating them.
He started every morning with reading his Bible and praying for each individual member of his family.
His family was a very close second to him.
He loved every member of his family and looked forward to the opportunities to be with them.
Don loved spending time doing archery and cycling with his wife.
He enjoyed hunting and golfing with his boys and grandkids.

He would teach the grandkids silly songs and loved getting everyone together to play games.
Laughing and enjoying each other’s company was an important part of his family time.
He enjoyed coaching summer baseball, helping his dad with carpentry projects, and spending time working with his brother Larry.
He cherished the times he was able to help Jesse with plumbing projects.
His daughters were precious to him as well and they spent many days talking and laughing together.
