Donald was called to heaven on Sept 28, 2023 while at home with his wife, Sandy. He had a deep love for God, his wife and children, and family. Awaiting him in heaven were his daughter- Kimberly Ann; parents- Eula and Arthur (Glen) Langum; brother- John Langum and other family and friends. He grew up and lived in Escalon, graduating from Escalon High where he played in the marching band. After high school, he attended and then graduated from MJC.

After college, he enlisted and served in the Navy. He greatly enjoyed those years (especially almost two years in Hawaii). While in basic training in San Diego he was chosen to sing in the Blue Jacket Navy choir for all events. He achieved the rank of CT2.

A couple of months after his Navy service ended, he met the love of his life, Sandy and they were married in 1970. He adored and greatly loved his wife and children and their four grandchildren. He is survived by his wife Sandy, son Jeffrey and daughter-in-law Sara, daughter Rebecca Timmons, his grandchildren - Tate and Smith Langum, Liam and Collin Timmons, brothers Glen and Virginia, Roy and Carol, Gene and Rita, Ted and Dorothy, sister-in-law Barbara, and many nephews and nieces.

Of all their hobbies, he and Sandy loved traveling most of all. They were blessed to go on over 30 cruises all around the world. Don also enjoyed golfing and bowling, playing baseball on their church leagues, bicycle rides with his friend Alvin, and reading.

Don’s memorial and celebration of life will be on Saturday, October 21, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. at Escalon Heritage church, 1155 Escalon Ave., Escalon, 95320.
