Don grew up in Woodstock, Illinois, graduating high school there in 1948. In high school he met Juanita D. Nelson. A year after graduation, they first dated and later married on February 4, 1950.

In 1970, after many western vacation tours, the family put down some western roots by building a vacation home in Pinedale, Wyoming on Fremont Lake.

The beauty of the northwest Wyoming inspired Don and Juan to buy property in Jackson, Wyoming in 1975. They moved west permanently. They lived 22 years in Jackson meeting friends and developing a love for golf. They started a new chapter in 1995 by moving to Idaho Falls finding great friends, golf and a great life style.

Don was a hard worker and good golfer, shooting his age many times at age 67.

Don is survived by his wife Juanita and 3 sons Donald Hahn (Linda) of Casper, WY. Charles Hahn (Sandy) of Morrison, CO. and Jeffrey Hahn of Las Vegas, Nevada. He is preceded in death by son Steven (Shari) who lived in Jackson, Wyoming.
