Don spent the majority of his life in Boise, where he was known for his kindness, generosity, and unwavering dedication to his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, cherishing every moment spent with his loved ones. His wisdom, laughter, and unconditional support will be missed by all who knew him.
