His bravery, and resilience, along with the love and support from his family and friends, gave Don the strength to endure his fight for nearly three years. Don's energy and tenacity for life was contagious. His ambition and drive for success was fueled by helping others reach their full potential.

Don will be greatly missed by all he has touched in his lifetime. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, and raised in Bena/Cass Lake, Minnesota, Don's love for the outdoors-lake life, hunting and fishing was born.

As a decorated Veteran of the United States Air Force, he landed into a career with Delta Airlines which relocated him to the Southeast Region where the majority of his career was spent in Atlanta, Georgia, with exception of his time assigned to New Orleans, Charleston, and Charlotte, as a Lead Aircraft Technician.
