Sheryle, I was deeply sadden when you came and told me about Dons passing tho I never had the chance to meet him I feel so sad for your loss. The pictures are beautiful and express what a kind and loving man he was. My love to you and may peace fill your heart.

I am sure many people knew Don better than I.  However, I spent nearly 4 months with Don as my Radio Operator in South Vietnam.  Don was a caring, conscientious and dedicated friend to his comrades, family and the Corps.  Don was instrumental in getting several of our Vietnam buddies together for a mini reunion in Washington, D.C.  Several of us had some adjustment problems returning to civilian life and Don was always there to listen and help during that long weekend in D.C.  He will be missed by me, his family and those who loved him.  My condolences to the family.

Sheryle, Debbie, Dee Dee and rest of the Fagan family- I was saddened to hear about Don's passing and will keep you all in my prayers. Take comfort in your family and friends during this difficult time.

Don Fagan was my most treasured friend. We either endured or experienced many significant events for two men who lived so far apart. He was truly a brother in my heart. Don was a very good Marine and proud of his Kilo Company, 3rd Bn, 3rd Marines family. He was as devoted to his family as anyone I have ever known. He was a deep thinker and he studied people with amusement and humor, but always with great respect. He was a natural philosopher but I don't think he ever realized it. Mary, Sheryle, Debbie, and Dee Dee will find great comfort in knowing that Don loved you as much as it is possible to love. I share in your grief but rejoice in the memory of my great and beloved friend. God bless you, much love, and Semper Fi!   Bill Clough (Alabama)

To the wonderful Fagan family...love and prayers to you all.  I first remember meeting Don as a young girl when his sister Linda and I would come visit he and Sheryle and those beautiful young daughters at their house. Don was a master of teasing and I developed a healthy respect and appreciation for his sense of humor...it was second to none.

I wish you healing at this very difficult time. Here is a warm HUG! I'll talk to you when you return to work. Take care, my friend.

A Yellow family member. . .

Don and Bill are now riding their motorcycles in heaven, may this thought bring you comfort during time of loss. I know you are a family of faith with love as the cement that keeps the home you built together on the solid rock of God's word.

Sheryle and family, I am also deeply saddened to learn of our loss.  Don was a wonderful caring man and I enjoyed working with him very much.  He adored his Sheryle and his family and was always the kindest presence in the room except when Sheryle was there to match him.  I hope your wonderful memories will give you peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Knowing how hard it is to lose a loved one, my thoughts are with you all. I'm thankful I was able to see him recently, although not under good circumstances, and hear about old stories of the neighborhood and growing up with my dad.

WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY,OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

So sorry for your loss. Thankful Don is out of pain, though. I love you Sheryle and am thankful for all the fond memories. Blessings to you all. ?

So very sorry sheryle.  I will miss him and have so many memory's of our youth. Some say that you are not truly gone until you are forgotten.  He will not be forgotten for a very long time.

Sheryle and Family I am deeply saddened by the loss of Don.  Your all in my thoughts and prayers.

Although a true man's man, the pride he had in his "three girls" is what I'll remember most.  A mentor and father-figure to me, I'll forever be influenced by the advice and selflessness of Dandy Don.

Don, was my best friend, club brother, and poker playing partner. I will miss the motorcycle rides and Saturday night games. Ride on brother

Sheryle - I worked with Don for several years at Yellow.  I always appreciated his friendship and counsel.  I'm sure he will be missed by many.

Our deepest condolences to Sheryle and family.  You are all in our thoughts.

Don was  the most reflective person I knew. We shared so many life moments of family, God, and friends in the 20 years we worked together. He made me a better person by teaching me organizational and management skills and his personal reflections on life. Thanks Don for all the great years. Sheryle so sorry for you and your family's loss.
Steve
