Donald was born in Blooming Prairie, MN on February 14, 1943. He graduated from Memorial High School, in Eau Claire, WI in 1961. He worked as an Automotive Technician, Automotive Service Writer, and an Independent Automotive Repair Business Owner.

Donald enjoyed helping his extended family, friends and neighbors with whatever projects, issues, or adventures they had. He was an active member of the Sunrise Exchange club for many years. He was an vibrant member in his parish for many years including starting the Immaculate Conception Fish Boils 38 years ago with another parish member. When the weekends in the summer hit though, you would always find him on some body of water, either fishing, boating or teaching someone how to water ski and/or inner-tubing, or he was at one of his grandchildren’s games or events.
