"Don will remain in my thoughts and heart for as long as I live. The years and miles we were apart only made our relationship stronger. Don will always be remembered for his thoughtfulness, graciousness, being head strong at times, but always devoted to Mary, Brandi and Brooke. Through his difficult times with COPD I never heard him complain and he always seemed to have a positive attitude. Looking back, he was much worse than he let on. For a little guy he had more strength than most of us. I know he has found a much better place with god free of pain and suffering and the fishing is good. He was not only a loved brother but also my very best friend. Rest In Peace"
