At the age of 18, Donald joined the United States Air Force, embarking on a career marked by faithful service until his retirement. He attained the rank of Tech Sergeant and was recognized with numerous awards and commendations, including: Air Force Achievement Medal, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with 1 Device, Air Force Good Conduct Medal with 5 Devices, National Defense Service Medal, Air Force Overseas Short Tour Ribbon with 1 Device, Air Force Overseas Long Tour Ribbon, Air Force Longevity Service Award Ribbon with 4 Devices, NCO Professional Military Education Ribbon with 1 Device, Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon with 1 Device, Air Force Training Ribbon, and Philippine Presidential Unit Citation
Donald made a profession of faith and answered the call to ministry, after retiring from the military. He served in many churches throughout Indiana, Wisconsin, and Missouri. Ten years ago, Donald retired from ministry and settled in Missouri, where he continued to conduct Bible studies with other Bible students.
In his spare time, Donald enjoyed performing magic and watching comedy.
Donald passed away on Monday, July 14, 2025, at the General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, at the age of 72. He will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, as well as many other relatives and friends.
Even though he is no longer with us, Donald's love for the Lord will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
Graveside Services with Full Military Honors will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday July 23, 2025, in the Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Waynesville, under the care and direction of Memorial Chapels and Crematory of Waynesville/St. Robert.
