Don leaves behind his fiancé, Janice Ignatovich, with these words written and left to her: “Her love to me gave me a reason to go on after my wife’s death. She helped me through multiple surgeries, a stroke and a lot of different health problems.” His words for his pet were that he was leaving behind “my little buddy Bella (pup) who will miss me dearly.”
Don was a lifelong Robertson County farmer. He raised tobacco, corn, soybeans, hay and cows. He was well-known as the owner and operator of #600 Carnation Milk Route in the 1950s.

In 1990s to 2010, he hauled water to people for their cisterns and was known by many people as the “Water Man”. He was an avid lover of country music all of his life and loved to dance. He continued to dance until he was 83 years old, when he had a stroke.
