Don was a fun guy with a great sense of humor. He loved joking around and making people laugh. He was always trying to give people a hard time. Everyone had a "Don" story... Don loved and was always involved in sports of any kind. He coached, umpired and managed several leagues and teams. One of Don's favorite things to do was going to the casino to gamble and socialize. He was a great Dad who loved spending time with his son and daughter, always taking them out to do things. He will be greatly missed by his family and all who know him.

Those who went on before Don are his birth parents; Melvin and Beatrice, significant other and love of his life; Patricia Prentice, father; Walter Gaye, brother; Cleatus Eagle and sister; Marilyn Eagle.
