Don Doran passed away on September 24, 2020 due to complications from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. He is survived by Judy, his loving wife of 48 years; daughters Jennifer (Craig) Forness; Maggie (Kenny) Robinson; son Joe (Carly) Doran; and nine grandchildren Ellie, Lucy, Emily, Will, Anna, Henry, Miles, Reece, and Andrew. He is also survived by his brothers, Dan (Sherry) Doran and Dennis Doran, and was preceded in death by his brother Darrell (Jo) Doran and parents Dorothy and Bud Doran.
Don loved his wife and family more than anything else. He found joy traveling, attending grandchildren's sporting events, listening to live music, boating and being on the water, following his favorite sports teams, and creating lasting memories with the people he loved.
Don was fun-loving, easy to talk to, and never met a stranger. Those who met him, even if only briefly, immediately found a new friend.
