Throughout his life, Don happily served his church community as a youth leader, Sunday school teacher, and basketball coach, to mention a few. He exemplified generosity by always extending a helping hand to those around him. Whether it was assisting at home or within the church or tending to his beloved family's needs, Don embraced every opportunity to provide support.

Above all else, Don's love for the Lord was unwavering. His deep affection for his wife Joyce and their family was evident throughout their remarkable 69 years of marriage.

He will also be lovingly remembered by his four grandchildren: Steven Scott Kinney, Matthew Gene Kinney, Zackary Stuart (Lauren) Worthing, and Alexandra Arlene Worthing.
