His beloved wife Della predeceased him, but their love story remains an enduring inspiration to all who knew them.

Donald’s legacy lives on through his children and his cherished grandchildren, William D. Peek, Matthew R. Wilson, Elaine W. Brady, and D. Ashton Leach, as well as his great-grandchildren, Star B. Daniel, David F. Peek, and Conner J. Leach. He took immense pride in their accomplishments and shared his wisdom and love with each new generation.
