Donald was born on May 9, 1954, in Lansing, the son of Donald Paul and Frances Rose (Giancinto) Tavarozzi. On October 2, 1981, he married Susan M. Earle, and together they built a life centered on family, love, and shared memories.

Donald found great joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved camping and fishing, and he was a devoted fan of the Detroit Tigers. Some of his most cherished moments were spent with his family, especially riding his motorcycle alongside his son, Eric. He will be remembered for his warm heart, his love of the outdoors, and the special bond he shared with those closest to him.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Susan; his son, Eric; his mother, Frances Tavarozzi; his sisters, Dianne (Joe) Salter and Denise (Bob) Graber; his sister-in-law, Sandy (Bob) Finke; his brother-in-law, Brian (Darcy) Earle; many loving nieces and nephews; and his treasured grand dog, Athena.

He was preceded in death by his father, Donald, and his parents-in-law, Jim and Mae Earle.
