The nicest guy I know. He was always smiling, always happy go lucky. My dog had puppies and Don took a boy ‘George’. They were a perfect match! We will miss you Don, ‘my baby daddy’!

Thank you Wanda. George was a special companion of Don’s and he missed him very much as I will miss my brother.

Condolence from Christina Abalos on October 2nd, 2016 1:14 pm

Don was a unique soul and one of kind. I deeply mess him but know he is happy being by God’s side. I got the privilege to know him since I started back at KXXV in 2014. The one thing that drew me close to him was his positive spirit and funny jokes. Plus he could fix anything and when you talk to him you felt you known him all your life. I will never forget him and my prayers are with his family.
