Thank you for everything for your amazing support and love, we don't know what we would have done without you!

Don was an avid fisherman and hunter, especially fishing with his dad, brother Jack and Princess Karlee. He loved mowing his lawn on his Zero turn John Deere lawnmower, working in his garden, or just talking about anything with his neighbors.

A very special thank you to the staff at Grant Medical Trauma Center (floors 3, 5 & 7) and the Kobacker House. You are definitely Angels! Thank you for everything you do!
