Donald married the love of his life, Bobbie Lee Jamison on July 20, 1974. Donald worked in Agriculture building cotton gins and managing them once they were built. He lived in Littlefield, Texas and Oklahoma before moving to Lake Brownwood. Donald loved to fish, or at least he loved to be on the lake. Lee said that there is no telling how many fishing poles Donald dropped in the lake while sleeping out on his fishing trips. Donald was a quiet man who loved to read, study and do math. Donald was a deacon at the May First Baptist Church and served as treasurer. He was active in the Men’s mission and travelled with them to build houses. He also helped build the sanctuary at the church’s location. Donald said he was a quiet man because he couldn’t get a word in around Lee. They enjoyed retired life on the lake spending time with family and grandchildren.
