  I went to school at St. Rose in Great Bend, Ks with him from 1st thru 4th grade....one of my earliest friends in life.
  He was a good fellow and will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
  God's speed, old friend....

My parents (Nancy and Otto) were very fond of Dr. Don (and Carol). They spent a lot of time with them when they lived in MI or during visits. I know Dr. Don was a good man with a wonderful and warm heart to help others. Both he and Carol were always very generous with their time, gifts and hospitality.  Most people usually get gifted with a particular talent or good looks but Dr. Don was hugely blessed. He not only was tall, dark and handsome, but super smart, caring, compassionate, athletic, musically gifted and I could go on… God put him on this earth to shine and help so many others. He was a rare breed and I have never meet a person that possessed so many skills and talents and used them all for the good or to help others. He will be surely missed and loved by many.   Sincerely, Lisa Panetta Craft 

My wife and I met my birth brother Donnie when I was 72 years old.  It was a shock for my new brothers and sisters who didn't even know I existed.  The first phone call I had with him, I knew he was my brother.  The first time we met him in Lake Wells, Florida back in November of 2018, I knew he was my brother.  He had the same features as me - same bald spot, same pointed chin, same ears, and same taste in style - Polo shirts, and favorite color, blue/green.  He had the same sense of humor as me, the same animated character, and I have pictures to prove it.  But who the heck in the family passed this joking personality business on down to the two of us anyway?  :-D   I'll never forget the brief time we had together, the phone calls and exchange of cards and letters.  These are treasures I will remember for as long as I live.  Rest in peace dear brother.  Love Ted and Coleen Hardman

I helped mr Beyer only a couple times but those couple times were amazing stories of his beautiful family and his life he touched my heart with his story  what a beautiful soul thank you for sharing your story with me 😇🥰

I remember when we would go visit grandma in Kansas, Uncle Donnie never missed an opportunity to scare us or pull a prank. He was definitely one of a kind. My heart goes out to Carol and the family.  You will all be in our prayers. 🙏💜🙏

Don didn’t have to be catching fish to be enjoying a day of fishing, but when he was “on the fish” the smile was like a Cheshire Cat, and that came with more bragging rights.   Jim

I knew Don for many years. I was a member of the Schola Choir that was founded by Don and his wife Carol. It was a beautiful music ministry. We sang at many churches and most recently we sang at Resurrection . Catholic Church. Don was a wonderful man and very talented singer and choir director. One of the things I enjoyed about Don most was his sense of humor. Even when he was going through his health challenges for several years he always kept his sense of humor. I will miss this very talented good-hearted wonderful man. I know he will be singing and directing the angelic choir in heaven. Prayers for him and his family. Paulette Sutton 



We were in London and Don had on this trench coat and I told him he looked like Columbo from the TV show so he gave me his autograph! We laughed so hard! Don had an amazing sense of humor and was an extremely gifted man. A truly good friend that all of us will miss. You taught us much Don and I will treasure our trip to Rome, time in the Keys in Marco in Michigan in Lake Wales so many memories. God speed my friend!
Well done good and faithful servant.
