Don was truly possessed of a "servant spirit" in his life and ministry for the Kingdom of God. A true friend and brother minister in the Church on earth; and has now entered the Eternal Kingdom where I'm sure he heard something like, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Our paths crossed earlier on our spiritual journey but I hadn't seen him in recent years. Blessings, hope and peace to you his family and friends - BobTyler

Dear Cheryl, Adam and Family members, Our deepest condolences on the passing of Don. We met you all when Don came to be pastor @ Countryside Christian Church. Don was a warm and caring man. He always made me feel welcome. Even when we had a difference of opinion he showed me God's love. He will be missed. Love to all, Alana & Paul Hutcheson
