Donald Richard West, born September 13, 1947, passed away peacefully with his family by his side, Wednesday January 11, 2017. Donnie is survived by his best friend and loving wife of 20 years, Barbara, his sons Tim and Rob, his daughters Sue, Cathy and Nancy, 11 grandchildren, 1 great-grandson and his two feline friends, Lucy and Lucky.
“Big Don,” as he was fondly known by friends, will be sadly missed by many in the Goodyear community. Donnie truly had the biggest heart and would give the shirt off his back, never leaving a friend in need. He often volunteered at the American Legion Hall, and prayers always included the brave men and women in the Armed Forces. Donnie was very proud of his Native American heritage and loved adding to his collection of totems and pottery whenever he could. He loved football and, as a California transplant in 2000, was slowly converting to a Cardinal fan (as long as they were winning), but he remained a hard-core, faithful San Francisco Forty-Niner fan. He also loved NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, cooking, and arts and crafts.
Celebration of life and memorial service to be held 2pm Friday, January 20, 2017 at The Church at Litchfield Park, 300 North Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park, AZ 85340.
