So sorry Kristi. Linda and I loved Donnie. All those years of softball on the Mallory team, the tournaments, the parties with the two of you. He was a great guy. Bless you. Keep playing Donnie.
From Jeff Bates:
Don was a great friend from grade school until we moved from Rupert. We worked together from our farm jobs, the Drift Inn, and even the sugar factory. We hunted, played sports, and even got into a bit of trouble together. Don was a good man that cared about family and others, and will be missed. He will remain in our memories, and his family will be in our prayers.

From Bernice Witt :
Became friends with Don many years ago in World of Warcraft. Both in game and when Don and Kristie traveled to Minnesota to visit it was just such a pleasure to be around him. He even brought a huge pack of fireworks to show how they do it back home. What a truly great human being. I wouldn't know where to begin. But as a guild mate and friend I will never forget him. Kristie I am truly sorry for your loss. Many many folks have been touched by his presence. God Bless.

Good friend all through High School. He and I had a great skit at the senior talent show. Will miss him. Washed dishes with him at the Drift Inn once or twice. May you rest in peace.
From Carolyn Hondo:
You will be missed, my friend. Sail on.
From Dennis and Diana Warburton:
We are so sorry to hear of your loss of Don. We went to Jr High and High School with Don. Dennis spent time hanging out with Don, he remembers when Don took him to the Drift Inn for his first real steak. Don played softball with Dennis on the traveling softball team. Don was one of the good guys and always enjoyed running into him and catching up.
From Paul Lynn judd:
It was great to reconnect at our 50 year class reunion. I had not seen Don in 50 years. It was a pleasant conversation. R.I.P. My condolences to his family.
From Bo Isaak:
Hey Goon!! Little League baseball, halloween tomato & egg fights, softball & basketball teammates & opponents for many years. Unknowningly, we hired on at Amalgamated one day apart and retired on the same day some 43 1/2 years later. 65 years of rubbing elbows, and you seemed to "win" too often in the ball games. RIP Don, my friend. Kristie, our prayers are with you, so sad to lose him at such a young age.
From Mason:
I only knew Don through gaming, but he was a great guy who cared about his family, and is greatly missed by all who knew him.

Kristie and family, I am so very saddened to hear the news of cousin Don. My family has you in our thoughts and prayers.
From Trina Pittman (Ezabeth/Meera):
Kristie and family ~ I am deeply saddened by your loss and we think of you and your family often. I hope you find some comfort with the fond memories we have of Don as Closely/Truely/Mostly. He was a genuine soul who's larger than life personality transcended World of Warcraft and impacted all of us greatly in the Real World.
RIP my dear friend, legendary hunter/priest/warlock, stellar guildie, Booty Bay dancer and ultimate hospitality concierge!!! Rest easy now Close and leave the leveling to us (we won't do you justice because, let's be honest, you were the man at leveling) but we will give it all we got in your honor. You have always been a legend to us. Thank you for choosing us as your posse, we are all better for it.
From Brandi (Charlyt) Burnet:
I knew him from World of Warcraft like Jonathan did. Fabulous player, great friend, solid guildy. Wonderful whacky sense of humor. He's missed very much. We were lucky we to have him with us.
From Janet powers :
My prayers are with you. Love you
From Mike Brown:
Awesome guy, had some great conversations with him when I was going through some rough spots on my life.
From Jonathan (Fal) Melius:
To me Donald was a healer, a hunter, and a badass warlock. I knew him as Closely, in a game that brought us together in a way nothing else could. I was his guildmate in a guild he was specifically responsible for and I am glad I got the opportunity to know him and be part of his posse. He was great ally in real life and in game.
From Dawna Bailey:
Kristie, I am so sorry to hear this news. Sending love and prayers to you and your family.
