Uncle Don will be sadly missed. We will be thinking and praying for your family.
Uncle Don is safe in the arms of Jesus forever. He'll be with grandpa & grandma, & the rest of the family, rejoicing & worshipping in God's presence through eternity.
Sorry for your loss. Love and hugs to your family.
Dearest Debbie & family: myself, Kendra & Kaitlyn love you all very much. Pops was like talking to my Grandpa. He was always a joy to be around & talk to him about our Lord. He will be missed!!! Love you!!
I was very young when I meet Don. He would soon become like a second father to me. My father and Don were very close my love and respect for Don is great. When I needed advice and couldn't ask my dad, he was always there. I will miss our talks about the past and all the funny, crazy things we used to do. I can picture him in Heaven next to my Dad making plans and building us all a mansion there. Love you and miss you Don
On June 1, 2015 I lost the most important person in this world to me. My heart feels like it has a big hole in it and I walk around like in a dream hoping that I will wake. But it isn’t a dream and my pain is real. But as I remember the good times that we had I know that I have not lost my daddy…he has just gone on to be with my grandparents and the rest of our family. He will forever be in my heart and I feel his presents with me even now…in all this pain. My memories calm my heart and help to ease the pain. I will see him again in Heaven and once again we will hold hands and laugh together. I will love you forever Daddy….Gods speed.
He is so much happier now he's singing with god now. You are missed and always will be.
I am so very sorry I left out some very important information. My daddy also left behind 2 brothers- Paul (Dee) Marks of Tuscon, Az and Leonard (Ruth) Marks of Clio, Michigan.
I sure am gonna miss you but one day when the Lord calls me home I will be there with you and we will be walking together. There will be sad, sad moments of missing you but all the good times we had together will help me through it. I love you DADDY.
We are sorry for your loss. He was a very sweet man.
So sorry for your loss pops is in heaven singing with the angels
