DONALD MARKHAM Obituary

Don , you are forever remembered.

Donnie was the most kindhearted person I've ever met. The first time I came over to the house for a party, I felt welcomed as if I was family. Wanted dead or alive by Bon Jovi will forever remind me of you. Truly one in a million!

Sarge,
You were always a great, down to earth man.
I appreciate all you did for me when I worked for you.
Thank you.
I'll always remember you laughing and smiling.
My heart and prayers to your wife, children, family and friends.
You'll never be forgotten.

Donnie, I'll never forget the first time I had Fireball. It was because of you! You threw the best parties and I bet you're throwing one right now in heaven. You're going to missed by so many.

A special man in a million different ways. Our hearts and prayers go out to all family & friends. Don will be missed very much by all who had the honor of knowing him.

Don was an amazing man. Loved by everyone, he touched so many in a special way. He will be missed by so many.

Over the last few days, while milling through the countless numbers of those who loved Don, several times I SWEAR I "saw" him before my brain processed that it wasn't true. I attributed it to a certain haircut or a shirt that looked like one he'd wear. Later it hit me, it wasn't visual. It was a sign to me that Don left his mark on all of us and that in one way or another, he will always be around. In our hearts, in our minds and in the way we live our lives after having watched the way he lived his. With PASSION.

Deepest sympathy to the Markham Family. We will keep you in our prayers. Don and I made Sgt together and I had the opportunity to work with him during that time. He was a great guy and will be greatly missed.

Zaprzalka-Biewer Family

Don was loved by everyone that knew him. He was uplifting, outgoing, selfless and demanding of himself. He was a fantastic father, coach and leader. He was an amazing team mate, tactician and athlete.
You touched and improved many lives Donnie and I am thankful for having known you.

Don was such a positive force in his community and parish. He contributed so much and left an impression on all who knew him. The neighborhood, the city and the planet are all a better place because of him. He went out of his way to share a kind word, even when he didn't have to, but it left you glad that he had. He will be missed.

Uncle Don...your smile lit up a room, your gentleness was felt everywhere and your kindness will never be forgotten. May you look down and guide us from up above. Prayers to the family---always.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Markham family. We are so sorry for your loss.

Dina, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
