Don was a dedicated law enforcement officer, a skilled welder and passionate outdoorsman. He served with the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department for 20 years.

Outside of his career, Don enjoyed spending time in the outdoors camping, fishing and hunting, and shared his love of nature with his children. His love for his family was unwavering. Don lovingly cared for his parents in their final years, and cherished the bond he shared with his brothers. A phone call with each of them was an important part of his daily routine.
