A resident of Pine passed away Wednesday morning March 5, 2025 at Fair City Health and Rehab in Franklinton. He was born on January 15, 1954 and had a long career with Asplundh. Early in his service, Donald loved climbing the highest trees before moving to a supervisor position. Most recently, he worked for Waste Management before retiring. Donald had a large coin collection and also collected many baseball cards. He was always quick to help his friends or family in need. You could call him for any little job around the house.

Donald had a special place in his heart for his large pet dog Duke.
