He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Earl and Mildred Myers and his sister, Norma McCune.

Donald served in the 215th Armed services and graduated from Millikin University in Decatur IL. He served on the board of directors of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity as well as the Board of Directors at Wanda Cemetery in South Roxana. Donald enjoyed traveling with his good friend and companion Shirley Kleeman and spending time with her children and grandchildren.
