Don graduated from Central High School in 1946 and attended the University of Oklahoma from 1946-1950.

Don was a very caring and loving husband, father and Papa. He made many friends and cherished memories during his school days, years in banking, involvement in his daughter's Scottish dance competitions and spending time at Lake Eufaula. Don enjoyed OU sports, watching sunsets at the lake, attending Liberty National Bank luncheons and Central High School reunions.
Don had a servant's heart. He was always willing to help others in need. He loved to tell stories about his past to anyone who would listen. He was a fun and funny guy and will be missed greatly.
Don was preceded in death by his wife, Gloria Lee Felts, who he was married to for 70 years. He is survived by daughter Allyson Felts and daughter Tiffany Rea and husband John. He was Papa to 4 grandchildren, Kyndal Wilmot and husband Chris, Tanner Proffitt, Alex DiStefano and Jack Rea along with 3 great grandchildren, Mason Proffitt, Adalee Owens and Garrett Wilmot.
