He was 63 years of age. Don graduated (he always liked to say he was paroled) from Alamosa High School in 1973. Don or Donny was a jack of all trades and master of none. He farmed, drove truck, worked construction, was a diesel mechanic for many years, taught trades in a handicap workshop and drove a school bus but his love and passion was being a Pastor. Don married Sandra Kay on May 19, 1978 in Alamosa, Colorado. She was the God given helper that struggled through the many ups and downs of Don's life. She was the balance of the teeter totter they shared for almost 40 years. Sandy could have excelled in any field she chose, but she excelled in being the wife and loving wife to Don, and mother to their two daughters. Don is survived by his mother, Betty, wife Sandra, daughter Sherrie Lynne and husband Paul, daughter Jennifer and husband Shawn, granddaughter Jessa. Don was the beloved Pop-Pop to Jessa Paige. Jessa held such a special place in Don's life. He is also survived by his sister Nancy and husband Paul. He is also survived by nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles.
