I worked with Donald in Westminster, Colorado in the 1980’s.  We were both food servers at that time. He was a bright light and joyful work companion. He was so much fun , and my two children (Tom and Anneesa) and I always enjoyed being with him. My condolences to his family and friends who were lucky to have him in their lives.

so sorry for your loss..He was a great man and as a member of Elks Lodge#160,
 also am saddened to loose him! prayers to the family sincerely Anne Foschino will be out of town on Sunday and cant attend his service ...

Don was a light, and he always made me laugh! He once told me he helps people walk down the isle and up the isle ( nudge nudge, followed by his unforgettable laugh)..  I am blessed to have memories of Don and his family! I regret losing touch with this wonderful family! 
God bless! 

I went to high school with Don at Westminster high! Westy! So very sorry to hear of his passing! God rest his soul! 

Catherine,

I just found about Don.  We worked together at Lane Coulter before he went to work for Chattanooga Funeral Home.  I have some great memories of our time together.  I’m so sorry that I couldn’t come for the services.  Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers…

Don Don 

Don Don, you were such a strong, funny, energetic, passionate man. Your matching bow ties and scarves will never be forgotten. I think back to a year ago when you had me listen to your visitation music playlist you had been creating. That day you made me cry so hard. Cancer sucks! That is all… it’s taken too many important people in my life away. But damn man, you never gave up. Thank you for being my adopted parents. Thank you for making the oh so amazing “uterus” cake for my crazy hysterectomy party. That cake was delish! You always knew how to party and bring joy to everyone’s life you met. Don Don my friend, you will be missed by so many. I always joke with Addison that I’m the favorite adopted daughter since I’m local. Thank you for being an amazing inspiration in my life and career. I love you dearly and will miss you like crazy.

We were so blessed to have our daughter, Rachel, marry Don and Catherine’s son Addison. My favorite memories are dancing at the kids’ wedding and being together to celebrate the Christening of our 2 Grandbabies.    Don was so much fun, offered words of wisdom when needed, was a devoted husband to sweet Catherine, and was a wonderful father to our son in law , Addison. Don you will be greatly missed! Please continue to pray for us all until the day we join you in Heaven! Much love, Mike and Darlene Nevle

Don was a fun loving person. Every time you would see him he had a smile. He was a great friend and co-worker to our family.  I will miss his FB post as they were always fun and uplifting and sharing his family pictures with us. Love & Prayers for the family. 

Don you were a great friend and brother in Christ, I really appreciate the opportunity. I had to know you and also get to work with you you will be greatly missed

As a long time member of the Elks Lodge# 160 I knew Don and his wife and so enjoyed seeing them at our lodge ! he was a wonderful person and enjoyed Lodge events ! Prayers to all his family as he will be missed but is a pain free place in Gods hands now!  Anne Foschino

I had the honor of working with Don at Highland Memorial. His kindness and loving spirit touched everyone he met. His passion for life and the dignity in which he handled his illness should inspire us all to be better in our walk through life. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time. 

Don was a great man. He was always kind and positive. He and I had many conversations and he was always encouraging. I am glad I had the pleasure of working with him! Catherine, I am sorry for your loss. You and  your family will be in my prayers. 

My best memory of Don Musick is that he found joy in celebrating everything. Every holiday had its own party complete with decorations. No doubt he is celebrating in Heaven - the biggest event of all! ❤️

I met Don when he worked at the funeral when a loved one passed away.   He drove the family car from
The funeral home to the cemetery; he was so kind and reverend, while we were all just grieving.   I recall, after the graveside service, we returned to the funeral home in the family car and Don tried his best to just have regular conversations with me and my brother to take our mind off our grief, if just for a few miles back to the funeral home.   That has always stuck with me and I have always loved him for that and knew him to be a good man.  Prayers to Catherine, family, friends, and Elks that had the honor to know him.  You will be missed Don.   💜💜🙏🏼

Sure gonna miss Don Don , loved working with him at the funeral home , if you where lucky enough to have him as a friend, you had a true friend ..

Don was one of a kind! A fantastic coworker who always had a smile or joke to share. He will be missed dearly.

Don was the most loving  and caring Funeral Director  there was 
        he made family arrangements  Easy the best that Dignity Memorial had and the best at Highland Memorial Miss you Don RIP.....

Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss. Don was one of a kind.  We worked parallel jobs in Bluff View Art District, and he was always one to have a sharp wit, a keen eye, and the ability to find himself in funny predicaments. He regularly declared  devotion to his family, and the kindness of his heart was apparent in all he did. Don will be remembered.
