Donald Joseph Staehnke

About Don

Don "turned the page" towards his heavenly gig, at home surrounded by his family on Thursday, February 4, 2021 at the age of 67. Preceded in death by brother-in-law Jeffrey House. His devotion to his family and friends meant everything to him. He is survived and will be dearly missed by his son Justin Staehnke, daughter Jill (Pat) Lemire, granddaughter Lexi (DJ) Anderson, mother Ivah Staehnke, sisters Deb (Dave) Lucke, Diane House, Dana (Scott Eichstadt) Staehnke, Dawn (Steve) Aamodt, brothers Duane (Thres) Staehnke, Doug (Renee) Staehnke, many nieces, nephews and extended family, cousin/ bro Skip (Gayle) Staehnke, friend/bro Jeff Adams, and by his feline friends Kirra and Leo. He will also be missed by many friends, friends in music, as well as friends he met through his years of working at Coca-Cola Bottling. His passions were his Harley, his vintage Cadillac, and his music. All represented by his t-shirt collection. Of course, "Little Feat" was his favorite band, and his knowledge of music, in general, was extensive. His gift of gab was well known by everyone.
