Donald Wilson, 69, of Bentleyville passed away peacefully at home on May 31, 2022 after a seven year battle with lymphoma.

Don lived his life as a loving and supportive husband to his wife and soulmate, Beverly (Tatar) Wilson for 42 years. He enjoyed working on home improvements with her, taking family vacations, going to oldies dances, spending time with friends, and cooking.

Don was a 1971 graduate of Belle Vernon High School. He had volunteered for the Fayette City VFD as a young man.

Don was a kind and caring father to his two sons, both surviving, Brian (Gaby Rodriguez) of Bentleyville, and Nicholas (Nicole Gebadlo) of Canonsburg. He worked the night shift so that he could be home during the day with his family. He spent countless hours with his sons collecting sports cards, attending their sporting events and playing pool and baseball.

He also was a playful and proud grandfather to Wyatt, Sawyer, Levi, and Briana, who also survive.

Don worked for Volkswagen of America for ten years and the Monongahela Valley Hospital for twenty five years. He was known as a dependable LPN and a fun loving co-worker and friend.

He belonged to St Andrew the Apostle Parish in Monongahela and was happy and content in his faithful, fulfilling life.

Don is also survived by his only brother, Charles "Bob" Wilson (Cynthia Stevenson) of Newell, his sisters-in-law, Jone (Jerry) Gerba of Washington, PA, Phyllis (Richard) Cain of Massachusetts, Kathleen (Terry) Renton of Virginia, and brother-in-law Gerald (Debbie) Tatar of Carnegie, and many nieces and nephews. He loved them all.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Charles "Pinky" W. and Nancy A. (Malaspina) Wilson of Fayette City. Don was quite the devoted son.
