Don was such a good-hearted man who I knew to always be in good spirits up until the very end of his life. I'm honored to have gotten to go on a group hunt with him and to make conversation with him on quite a few occasions. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family, especially Shawn, Sarah, and kids. He thought the world of all of you! Rest in Peace, Donnie!
