Donald's death was reported to the Social Security Death Index in August 1980. Reports received by this administrator stated that Donald took his own life.
I knew Don well in our senior year, he was good friends with Dave Dahl and they would skateboard near Marine view school...I would go and watch them with my friends and think....oooo, they are soooo cute!!!! How sad that he took his life in 1980.
Don was one of my best friends. Myself and Brian Carter and Mike Mahar were always hanging out together. Don was a awesome drummer as well as a good friend. Stayed over at his house many times as he stayed at mine. His family especialy his brothers were always good to me. miss him so much. I remember when Brian and I got the call what happened we went to were they found him off of 2nd street in his car. so very sad. such a waste. rest in piece my friend. love you...
you and I had some classes together and Don was in a couple of them as well. I remember how tight you guys were. I can still envision you guys bro'ing around. Seeing that picture of Don is exactly how I remember him.
Passed way to young - I'm sure you think of him often.
