Don was born November 21,1935 in Nida, Oklahoma to William “Bill” and Delia Krebs.

He was a Fort Worth area resident since 1968, where he worked as a sheet and metal specialist, retiring from Lennox Air in 1995, to travel and spend time with his wife and family.

Don was a family man. He was most happy surrounded by as many relatives as possible, which usually proved an easy mission, with such a large, bonded extended family.

Don’s family loves him dearly and will carry him in their hearts every day. His memory will live on through them and the many stories of their closeness.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Anita; a grandson, Mike Heath II; sisters, Mary Catherine, Julendus, Dorothy, Lucille, and Genovive, and brothers, Patrick and Leroy.

Survivors: Daughters, Brenda Heath (Mike) and Laura Sonnevelt (Ricky); grandchildren, Heather Mitchell (Bryan), Emma Simmons (Jason), Jacob Sonnevelt (Kelsey), and Jordan Sonnevelt; six great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews, whom he held close and special relationships with.
