Born in Dallas, TX, he was the son of the late John A. Ford and Mildred Ford. He was a kind and humble man of God who touched many souls.
Don is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Linda Ford; his precious son, Patrick Ford (Jena); his granddaughter, Kira Ford; his brother, Gene Ford (Priscilla); his niece Paige Heidman; his nephew, Stacy Ford; his loving aunt, Barbara Arms (Danny); and many other relatives. He was predeceased by his brother, Jimmy Ford; and grandparents, Bob and Dora Smith.
Don served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam Conflict Era and was a disabled veteran. Retired from the U.S. Postal Service after 32 years of service, Don was currently working at the Greenville County Courthouse.
