Life story

Donald “Don” was born in Flint, on September 20, 1960, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William and Joyce (Fish) Meyer. Don enlisted and proudly served in the United States Army. He met and was married to the love of his life, Sarah Parker, on September 14, 2018, at Dow Gardens in Midland. Don was an Emergency Roadside Assistant. Don loved driving the flatbed and was amazing at his work. Don was a jokester and enjoyed making people laugh. He loved the outdoors hunting with his wife and teaching her about hunting. He also loved hunting with his dad, brothers, son, daughters, and grandkids. He was honored to have been able to teach his children and grandchildren all he knew about hunting and life. He loved his kids and family unconditionally and was so proud to be a grandpa. He also adored his dogs, Saoirse and Leia, and spoiled them daily. Don loved his in-laws as if they were blood, and he considered his father and mother-in-law to be a second set of parents. He was the most caring, loving, and devoted husband. He loved to drink Coke-a-Cola and eat Reese’s peanut butter cups. He enjoyed country music, good action and western movies as well as fast cars and square body pickup trucks. Don knew what he wanted out of life, and he strived to obtain it.

Don is survived by his loving wife, Sarah Meyer; children: Donald and wife, Brittany Meyer, Kerrene and husband, Kevin Davidson, Tiffani and husband, Derek Sias; many special grandchildren and great-grandchildren; special in-laws: Everette and Kathy Parker "Mom and Pops," siblings: Marsha and husband, Bob Pollen, William and wife, Stacy Meyer, Christopher and wife, Barbara Meyer, Rebecca and husband, Frank Molina; step-brother, Ron McCullough; sister-in-law Sandy and husband, Eric Johnson; brother-in-law Nick and wife, Alyssa Parker; best friend, Chuck Green; several nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
