Sorry for your loss.
Don was Donman! He was a man that didn’t judge, always cared, was always interested. There were many times when we were around Don and he was just one of the guys. You could also easily tell he was an awesome grandfather and father. We would cross paths with Don at many of the kids school functions. He will be missed.
To all that loved Donman,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I really loved getting to know Donman over the past few years, and he was truly a GREAT man! He always had a smile on his face and asked how you were doing. Ben loved talking about the Braves with him, especially in the Cubs zone of the Woitkos home! Sending continuous prayers for peace and comfort during this heartbreaking time.
Heather, Brandon, Jason and Katie… I know this loss is unbearable. Donman was a legend. A man who treated everyone like family. He had the biggest heart. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him and his smile will never be forgotten. I love you all.
DonMan! Enough said. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him simply knew the legend of DonMan. He was the real life “Dude” making Lebowski look tame. DonMan was Theconstant Casting Crowns/Margaritaville t-shirt model. Besides a chill dude and “one of the guys” he was an amazing father (and father-in-law) and grandfather to some amazing people to whom he had an immeasurable impact. I had the pleasure of getting to know Don over the past decade hanging out with the Halls and Woitkos and especially recently as my Chinese-Buffet-sharing-roomie during some rough times. He was a fascinating and entertaining and was always there to talk to. I’ll miss DonMan and I know there’s a gaping hole for all those near him. Stories and memories will always bring a smile to those who knew him. Cheers DonMan, this one’s on me.
What a great friend to grow up with. I know he will be missed by all. I’m happy we were able to reconnect in our latter years. I was also happy to know that we both accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior. No greater gift could he have ever left to his family than knowing he would live throughout eternity with Christ Jesus. I pray comfort upon all of the family left behind and upon every one that was ever touched by Donnie’s life. We will see you my friend on the other side. Love you brother.
Oh, Donman. What can I say… from the moment Brandon and I started dating, I was accepted as a Hall. I’ll never forget that first Christmas. My tower of gifts was just as high as Brandon’s and everyone else’s. I whispered to Aaron, “is this a mistake??” Aaron replied, “I know. Just go with it.” Donman never met a stranger & always held an open door policy. There were many nights we’d show up around 11:30pm and he’d be up for a drink and a chat. I spent my last day with him, just the way I always wanted to remember him. Sitting on a porch, listening to music and talking about any and everything. We’ve shared so many laughs and tears. One of his most beautiful traits was how he lived every day as if it was his last. He never hesitated to tell you exactly how he felt about you and how he loved and cherished those around him. He repeatedly said he was grateful for every single day, and what a wonderful life it’s been. Donman, I love you & thank you for accepting me as a daughter. Thank you for instilling the importance of family and seizing each day into your children and loved ones. Your legacy lives on forever. I’ll miss you forever. Have a margarita, listen to the ocean & smile on. You did good.
Love,
Your A-Woman
I am sorry to hear of DonMans passing I know he was loved dearly by his friends and family. He will be truly missed by all.
Heather, Brandon, Jason, Katie and all loved ones of Don,
I am so sorry for your loss, Don man loved each and everyone of you with all his heart. His love and legacy will live on through each of you and his many grandchildren whom he cherished.
Throughout the years, I’ve been blessed to get to know your father and the kind heart that carried and guided him. I have many memories of your father, many which make me laugh and many that make me happy. From knock knock jokes to porch fees and football games. I’d say the first image that comes to me though is your father laying on floor in front of the fireplace. Leg propped up, cold drink in hand, and a newspaper in front of him. He sure had his own style! I love you all very much, smile on.
I did not have the pleasure of knowing the Donman for very long. But every time I saw him, he was always with his family and going to some event for his grandkids, and that was a lot of events. I was very sad to hear of his passing and I know that he will be missed greatly by many. My last memory of Don was sitting on the back porch with his son just enjoying another beautiful day. Rest In Peace Donman!
I am so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. He sure seemed like an amazing man and father, and although I never really met him, I sure feel like I know plenty about him through Heather and Aaron and all the stories and pictures I’ve seen. I’ve never seen a picture of him without that huge smile and I see that same smile in every one of his kids. My heart breaks for all of you. The grief of losing a parent is a pain so unimaginable and I will keep you all in my prayers for weeks, months and the years to come. Keep those memories alive through your wonderful stories! Sending all our love, hugs and prayers,
Virginia and Mike Meyer
Why did Heather get minced cashews in her stocking when me and Donman got whole cashews?

Deepest condolences on your loss Heather, Katie, Jason, & Brandon. Donman was loved by his family & will be missed by all.
Don man! What do you say about a man that gave me my world (Katie)? When we first met he made it clear to me that he already loved and accepted me. Never in my life had I already had someone’s respect without ever earning it. He was a true friend, dad, father in law, and so much more. I’m gonna miss you so much. You will be missed at every holiday, at every birthday, and you’ll especially be missed anytime some situation needs a supervisor (like every single time someone has moved)! Thank you for letting me be a part of your wonderful life.
Heather, Aaron and family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. He sounds like a wonderful person and I know that those traits live on in you and your children. Losing a parent is terrible, but the memories you made will always remain in your hearts. I love you guys and if there is anything that I can do for you, you just have to say the word. I am praying for you as you go through this time.
My deepest condolences to the family. This is a such a tough loss for all. I will always be touched by Don’s kindness and generosity. As many have stated, he made all he knew feel part of the family. He was so thoughtful and caring when I lost Clark and had insights to offer that were so valuable to me. Clark and I felt a special grandparent bond with him which I continue to cherish. He knew how to love his family. He is indeed a legend and thinking of him always brings a smile. Rest in peace.
PS: The video montages are amazing! What a perfect way to honor him.
Donman was an absolute legend. His smile and infectious laugh along with his constant banter about the Braves and the Dawgs made him a fixture at tailgate parties. Beyond that, he was just the most incredible dad, dad-in-law, and granddad that anyone could ask for. My heart aches for your loss but I am just so happy that you were blessed to live for so many years alongside a man like him.
Heather, Aaron, and your entire family,
I’m so very sorry to hear about your dad. It’s so clear from these pictures that you all got your big smiles directly from him. What a great gift! May all your wonderful memories with him bring you some peace and comfort during this difficult time. Sending giant hugs from Michigan…
I will never forget being an honorary part of the family for many years. I loved spending Christmas and other family events with them. Donnie was always happy and boisterous, usually making jokes. I will miss him.
To the family and friends of Donman,
I didn’t know Donman personally, but from the wonderful stories and recollections of him, it’s evident that he is cherished by many and his loss will leave a big void in your lives. He has written the best of his life story in the hearts of those who love him. May those memories be a comfort as you grieve his passing and a treasure as you continue to celebrate his life.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Shannon
Donman was such a treasure! His enthusiasm for life and everyday things was infectious — from festivals and “snow clouds” to the famous Hall family Christmas tree, I always love hearing Donman stories from Brandon, Heather, Katie and Jason. He wore his heart on his sleeve, gave the best hugs and always had the brightest smile in the room. He will be so missed, but has the most amazing kids to carry on his legacy.
I’ve never met a more lovable guy than Donman. Becoming friends with Brandon in high school, I had the privilege of knowing Donman for about 20 years and every time I saw him, he welcomed me like I was part of the family. Whether he was shouting “Loooord” or giving me a hard time for how terrible I was at bowling, his good hearted delivery always made me laugh. Donman was an amazing guy and will be greatly missed.
He was very kind and sweet. He gave I nice warm hug. I have known him my whole life, and since then, I loved him with all my heart. He was a very good person. He had a good smile. No one is ever gone, they are always in your in your heart.
Lily, how sweet of you, darling; Papa loved you very much and he always called you his princess.
I always loved him with all my heart. Papa was very sweet. (written by Lily)
Another one of Papa’s princesses.
I waited a couple of days to add my thoughts about Don Man hoping that I could find the right words. I am still struggling to find those words, but I do know that I considered him a dear friend and an extended member of our family. He loved life, his family and his friends. I will always treasure the time we spent together and the so many laughs that we shared. Don Man could tell a story with the best of them. I feel blessed to have known him for so many years and the memories will live in my heart. Rest in Peace Don Man.
Donny, you were a unique, one of a kind individual. We could always count on you for a good laugh! You loved family fiercely and were always a joy to have around. My kids will miss seeing you come to just hang out with their Nana and Papa. You will truly be missed , but we have been so incredibly blessed to know you. We love you and will miss you deeply.
Heather, Aaron and family,
Thoughts of deep and sincere sympathy are with you and your entire family at this time…may his memories keep you going…great pictures and videos…very special.
There will never be another quite like him. We will all try to be. That smile, that laugh- unmistakably Donman. I feel privileged to have shared the awesome times tailgating, talking Bravos and just laughing. I will miss you. We all will. Your legacy lives on through your kids and their kids and it is truly something I aspire to. Rest in peace Donman.
So sorry to hear of you loss. What a great video!
Praying for your comfort during this tough time.
Heather, Brandon, Jason & Katie!
Your Dad was a GREAT Father, Grandfather, Coworker & I was lucky enough to call him my good friend. Ball games, concerts & karaoke. I will miss him tremendously. Gone way too soon. The DonMan had a huge heart & loved you guys so much. I learned so much from him. Work ethic, friendship & fatherhood. I know that he is in heaven right now. Singing with the angels. One of his favorite songs by David Allen Coe, You never even called me by my name. Hope to meet the DonMan again one day to sing One with him one more time.
Donman was a kind and generous man who treated everyone with respect and made them feel welcome. I am grateful to have known such a great man. His memory will live on , especially through his wonderful children and their families. You will be missed Donman!
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hall family during this time of remembrance and celebration of Don’s life.
I was forunate to work with Don for 11 years at ICI. He was the best Dad and Coach. He taught me alot about soccer and was available to me when I left ICI to teach. We stayed in touch over the years. Don loved being a father and a grandfather. In fact, he caught me up when we were together to say goodbye to Hans. He was so proud of each of his kids and would tear up talking about you guys. Don loved life to its fullest and loved kids in general. He always made you feel like you were part of his family. He was a sensitive and gentle soul that believed in Jesus and I feel certain he is at peace and that although this feels like goodbye, it is really a see you later. He will be missed.
Mike and I are very sorry for your loss. Don was a wonderful man and soccer coach. We are privileged to have known him. He was always smiling. You should be very proud of your Dad. He had a very positive influence on many young men on his soccer teams. We will remember the fun times we had with him and his bright smile. RIP Donman! We hope you always remember the fun times you had with your dad, of which we are sure there were many. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
What can I say Donman? But “Good Lort!”
You were an amazing man. Loud, yes. Boisterous, yes. Beloved, yes. Love oozed out off your skin. No one can ever say differently. You fathered some damn amazing kids and grand kids. You are an amazing man. Hopefully, I’ll be as beloved as you when I pass. May you fly freely in the next life.
