Don worked for many years in a variety of fields, including farming and agriculture. He also worked as a mechanic, working on automobiles and farm implements. He was always industrious but even more than being known as a hard worker, he will be remembered as an amazing father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

Don had eight grandchildren: Kayla Holland, Roy Patrick, Missy Howton, Kristy Scott, Josh Wilbanks, Jerome Wilbanks, Heather Wilbanks, and Matthew Mitchell. Don had many great-grandchildren. Don also had three step-children: Virginia; Roy; and Suzie.
