Donald Julian Eleazer, Sr.

On Saturday, January 29, 2022, Donald Julian Eleazer, Sr. (Weezer) was welcomed home to be forever with his Lord and Savior. He was surrounded by his family and friends who loved him immensely. Everyone who met Don loved his contagious smile and good-natured humor.

He was born on October 5, 1939. He was the son of the late Julian A. Eleazer and Ruby E. Swygert. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Jayne Eleazer, of 58 years. He is survived by his son, Donald “Chip” Julian Eleazer, Jr. (Janet) of Mooresville, NC; daughter, Julynn Eleazer Spence (Zack) of Lexington, SC; grandchildren, Ashton “Charlie” Eleazer, Zachariah Spence (Haley), Kylie Spence, Courtney (Spence) MacArthur (Ben) and great grandchildren, Jake Colvin and Johnny MacArthur.

Don began his career in the SC Air National Guard as an air traffic controller for McEntire AFB. Having served faithfully and honorably, he retired after 40 years as distinguished Chief Master Sergeant. He was also the founder and owner of a printing company in West Columbia named Zippy Print, Inc., that provided printing services to the Carolinas for 38 years, until merging his company with Pine Press Printing of Lexington and continued as a broker until his retirement. He also was a longtime member of Saluda River Baptist Church where he served as the Chairman of Deacons and member of Finance Committee.

A special thank you to Dr. William Giles for his compassion and care for Don and our family. We would also like to thank Lighthouse Hospice, McLeod Home Care, and the many friends that have offered love and support during this difficult time.

Funeral services with military honors will be held on Thursday, February 3, 2022 at Saluda River Baptist Church at 2:00 p.m. Visitation prior to services will be held at the church from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m. followed by graveside service, officiated by Pastor John Yorio, at Woodridge Memorial Park in Lexington, SC.
