Don was born on January 14, 1952 in St. Louis, MO. He attended Roosevelt High School in south St. Louis and graduated from Christian Fundamental High School in 1970.
Don was passionate about music and learned to play the guitar at a young age. Over the years, many were touched by the heartfelt way he played and worshipped. He especially loved playing at church and faithfully did so for many years.
Don was a loving husband, father, grandfather and a friend to many. He will be remembered for his love, his strength, his sense of humor, and the way he made the people around him feel cared for. Above all, Don loved Jesus, and his faith guided the way he lived his life. Though he will be deeply missed, we rejoice in knowing he is now whole and at peace with the Lord.
