Don was born in Jefferson, Missouri on March 6, 1937.

He was a long time resident of Lamar, Co.

Don worked for H&T Trucking for over 45 years. His truck and hauling cattle was his biggest passion.

He returned back to trucking a year later and worked for H&T Trucking until his passing.

Don was a devoted loving husband to Shirley for over 45 years.

His hobbies were watching old western movies and rodeos. He was fascinated with horses since he was 6 years old and was a trail guide for many years. One of his dreams was to attend the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada. H&T Trucking was gracious enough to send him in December, 2019.

Don was the most caring and honest person that anyone had the fortune to know. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family and all who knew him.
