I saw Don driving out of a gas station in Kingwood as I drove in, back in 2019.  Since then, I've thought many times about looking him up but never did until today.  This was not what I was hoping to see.
We were only friends in our late teens and early twenties, but they were great times and I have often thought of him, throughout the years. 
I am saddened to hear of his passing and I want to give my deepest condolences to his family.  Don was kind, funny, and fun, and I hope that he rests eternally in peace.

Don was one of my first friends for ever when I moved to Texas from New York City. He and I used to play paintball war together in Spring.  We were practically inseparable every weekend for a few years. Several trips to Crystal Beach staying at his parents beach house. My phone number is 713-858-7281
I'm so sorry for your loss...I loved Don (Dongaloid) like a BROTHER.  Please tell his son that he can call "Pumpkin Head" anytime.

I was wondering what happened to this guy! Very sorry to hear he passed away. He was always cool and I’d hook him up with extra coupons for his stuff. May he RIP

Don was one of my residents as well as one of my best friends when I managed the Arbors of Taylor.  I’ve had so many good memories of Don but what stands out to me was his cheerful and positive outlook on life.  I could be in my office having the worst day and in walked Don and within five minutes I would be laughing and have a smile on my face the rest of the day.  I’ll never forget those days and can’t thank him enough for that.  He was a wonderful Dad and friend and I regret losing touch with him over the years.  Don, rob and I love you and you will never be forgotten!

Shared many memories since 1985. Anything from concerts, clubs, beach, festivals, etc. Or just hanging out at whoever's place. As time passed that tappered down to lengthy, humorous  conversations. Lots of bantering.
Don was lucky to have a caring, funny, loyal, sometimes grouchy (lol) family.  Always love no matter what.
He was blessed with his son, Nick. Handsome,  intelligent, quick witted and in service (Navy)  to our country. Though Don didn't always have the most tactful way of showing it, he was very proud of and loved Nick very much. We all know this.
Don was lucky enough to find his best friend and love of his life,  Amber. It was evident in the way he spoke of and looked at her. She gave him much love and happiness. So glad they found each other. 
Don loved his real friends and I believe it's safe to say, we all loved him. I know I did and still do.
Love to all of you,
Angel
