In Memory of

Donald F. Belk

Thursday, February 6, 2025

Donald F. Belk, Age 68, of Media, PA died on Thursday February 6th, 2025, surrounded by his family. He was born in Upper Darby and graduated from Sharon Hill High School before attending the Pennsylvania Institute of Technology, where he earned a degree in electronic engineering.

Early in his career, Don lived out a lifelong dream of working for NASA, an experience that allowed him to travel around the world. He continued to embrace adventure throughout his life, flying ultralights and airplanes, scuba diving with his wife, Terry, and shooting original Civil War weapons in competition with the Delaware Blues.

Throughout his accomplished career as a Sales Engineer in the printing and color technology industry, he earned widespread respect for his expertise, mentorship, and ability to build strong, lasting relationships. His passion for guiding others and fostering meaningful connections made him a trusted leader in the field.

Don was happiest on the fast-pitch softball field, sharing the game he loved with lifelong friends. He had an enduring love for country music, John Wayne movies, and singing American Pie—a Don Belk classic.

Above all, Don was a devoted husband, father, pop-pop, brother, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Terry Spengel Belk, his son Daniel Belk (Chrissy), his daughter Kaitlin Belk (Alex), and his cherished granddaughters, Quinn and Delaney Belk. He is also survived by his sister Mary Wood (Marshall), his brother Bill Belk (Donna), and a loving extended family of in-laws, nieces, nephews, and close friends.

He was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Mary Belk, and his sister, Charlene Anastasio.
