He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Anna Bell Jones, and son-in-law Joe Yeager, as well as his beloved wife of 37 years, Joyce Bradshaw. Don was known for many things in his life. His quick wit and sense of humor could light up any room. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and spending time in his shop using the many different tools he had for woodworking. After his health issues forced his retirement Don could be found most days on his tractor moving dirt and rocks from one pile to another on his 7 acres. He found immense joy in spending time with friends and family, creating countless cherished memories. Don dedicated an impressive 42 years of his life working in the lumber yard at Meeks, retiring only due to health reasons. His departure from the lumber yard was a disappointment to him, as he dearly missed his coworkers and the customers who became a part of his extended family. One of Don's most remarkable qualities was that he never met a stranger. He had an incredible gift for striking up conversations and sharing laughter with anyone he encountered. His warm and welcoming personality left an mark on the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. Don will be deeply missed by his loving family. The memories of time spent with him, the lessons learned from him, and the laughter shared with him will be cherished forever. He is survived by his devoted wife of 24 years, Brenda Bradshaw; his two daughters, Amelia Yeager and Amanda Reynolds and her husband Mike; his stepsons, Donnie Davis and his wife Marsha and Steven Davis and his wife Roxanne; his six grandchildren, Kaleb Reynolds, Cassie Reynolds, Rymer Reynolds, Tori Keener, Seth Davis, Saleen Davis; and his four great-grandchildren, Fischer Reynolds, Anson Reynolds, Bear Reynolds, and Kahlan Keener, along with a host of extended family and friends. Don's legacy of laughter, love, and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
