Don was a devoted, adoring, loving and kindhearted father to Marlene and set of twins, Amanda and Mimi. Grandfather to Marissa and great-grandfather to Colton.

One of Don’s great passions was gardening. You could always find him in his beautiful backyard gardening daily. When he wasn’t in the garden, he was traveling. He loved snorkeling and searching for underwater marine life with his wife.

Don was very creative and loved problem solving. He loved a good challenge. He had a great love for animals also. Don had a younger brother, Dale Mallonee, a Vietnam hero, that he loved and was very proud of. No words can describe our loss. He was a blessing to everyone that knew him.
