I graduated with Donald in Fredericktown, Ohio. Good guy. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Mrs. Ethel and family, I am truly sorry for your loss and the passing of Elder Don. My heart and prayers are with you all. 🙏🏾❤️Elder Don was truly a phenomenal man of God, full of godly wisdom. He taught me so much during my early years as a believer at New Commission, and I will always be grateful for the wisdom he poured into my life. His marriage advice was second to none. The principles on marriage he taught me years ago are principles I still use in my marriage and life today. That says so much about the kind of wisdom and impact he carried. It was always a blessing to see him. No matter how much time had passed, it always felt like we never missed a beat. He was genuine, encouraging, wise, and simply a great man to be around. Elder Don left a lasting mark on my life, and I know I am not the only one. He will truly be missed, but the wisdom he shared and the lives he touched will continue to speak for years to come. May God comfort you, strengthen your family, and give you peace during this time. Elder Don was truly one of a kind. 🙏🏾❤️
With Passion,
Jamel & Stephanie Carter

My Condolences to Ethel and the rest of the family. Da Don as I called him was my Brother from another mother. I remember working with him at Neuse Center...he was my Supervisor in an office with 4 women we were called Don's Angels. I'm honored that GOD blessed me with the opportunity to know him if only for a little while. Ethel (Sis) I'm here for you Always💜💜

Don was an amazing man. He never failed to have an uplifting word whenever I saw him. Ethel, you and all his family have my most profound sympathies. I can't imagine. We are a lot less blessed by his absence, but......Heaven is a much better place now that he has arrived home. My prayers are with y'all. Do not hesitate if you need ANYTHING of me.
Don was a great man! I had the opportunity to work with him for many years, he was always willing to help others. Take your rest, from your labor down here on this earth.
