He was my lab partner in 10th grade biology and always made it so funny.  - Hollis Hutchens


Don was my first debate partner and one of my closest friends in high school.  I even lived with his wonderful family for a while after my parents moved to Florida.  Don had such a good and kind heart and was such a gentle and loving human.  Don was smart and funny and irreverent.  I wish that we had stayed close after school, but the great pictures helped me remember what a great friend he was and his beautiful family made me smile. - Barry Ragsdale
