Donald Dykstra Obituary

Susan, i have so many memories of your dad. He was an awesome guy. A great neighbor and a caring coach. I'm very sorry for your loss. I'll never forget the day he sawed through his leg while repairing the porch. He was so calm! Take care and best wishes - Nancy

I am grateful to have had such a fantastic relationship with my father these past few years. He enjoyed my husband and they're trip to Gettysburg. His relationship with his grand daughter Victoria, was very special and it was filled with love and kindness. He always had a smile on his face when Victoria was in the room. I am grateful to have had trips with my father and be able to spend time with one another and just enjoy each others company. We had a unique relationship, we were able to talk shop, he loved to make my jaw drop, which is hard to do, and he would laugh so hard. We were friends, and excepted one another for whom we were and just enjoyed our differences. There is so much I want to write and say, it is overwhelming. I listened to you dad, you helped me in ways you will never know. I am grateful to have been in your presence and have been your daughter. I love you.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Tammy Moad & Bryan Platten

Don will be truly missed and my condolences to my sister Mickey and Don's Daughters and grandchildren. God Bless you all today, tomorrow and forever! Cheryl Carbone

Don was a very special friend to David and me... We has so much fun golfing together and telling stories. We were thrilled when Don became reacquainted with his "Girls" and their families. He was so happy and had a new-found zest for life. Hearing him talk about his grandchildren brought a special light to his eyes that showed how proud he was of all of them. I know how much he loved Mickey and how lucky he felt to be married to such a devoted wife. Don returned our love and allowed us into his heart. We will miss him very much. God bless you Mickey, Carrie, Susan and the entire family. Margaret & David Lincoln

We will miss our dear friend very much. We have wonderful memories of many, many good times together.
Our condolences to you Mickey.
And to you, Carrie and Susan, you're father never stopped talking about you and your children.....he was so very proud of both of you and your families. We are so sorry for your loss.
Love, Dan and Teresa Stinnett
