He married his high school sweetheart Elma (Nickel) on May 30, 1969 in Chilliwack, BC.
In their 53 years of marriage, Don and Elma raised three children: Pamela (Ratzlaff), Laurel (Edwards) and Mark. They also welcomed 9 precious grandchildren.
Don was a proud “Papa” and loved attending his grandchildren’s events, whether it be volleyball, dance, skipping or hockey. He was an avid cheerleader.
Don had an entrepreneurial spirit, owning several construction companies, branching into real estate development and, in his later years, farming.
Most importantly, Don loved the Lord. He devoted much time to serving on various boards, such as CBC, Trinity Western University, Northview Community Church, Alderbrook Community Church and Campus Crusade for Christ/Power to Change. He wasn’t shy about his faith and he shared it with friends and colleagues alike.
A celebration of Don’s life will be held Monday, Oct 3/22 at 11:00am at Church in the Valley 23589 Old Yale Road, Langley, BC V2Z 2K4.
