On Nov. 7, 2008, God called one of His angels home. Donald was born July 2, 1941, to C. W. and Glenna Mae Wilson in Denison. He graduated from Terrell High School and attended college in San Diego, Calif. Donald was employed with the Safeway plant and the U. S. Postal Service. He deeply loved the Lord and made sure his family was taught the Word at Sunday school and church services.

During his retirement years, he truly enjoyed caring for and helping others in need of anything, being with his family and friends on all occasions and celebrations, and he also enjoyed caring for his yard and farm. His family was his heart, nothing was more dear to him than family. Donald has left a shining example of resilience, hope, tenacity, and loyalty to family. He will forever be our HERO. We will always honor him a Husband, Daddy and PaPa.
