I never had the pleasure of meeting Don, but my deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.
RIP Beemerdons

Add my name to the list of people who never met Don but nevertheless grew to appreciate and anticipate his presence on this forum. I will be toasting Don at the earliest possible opportunity.
Prayers for his family.

I looked on line this morning for an official obituary.
The first one to come up was in the Orange County Register. Don was born in Orange County, CA.
https://obits.ocregister.com/obituaries/orangecounty/obituary.aspx?pid=177106846
In this obituary it says that, in lieu of flowers, donations could be made to Autism Speaks.
This makes perfect sense since this is Seth's affliction. A link to their site is given below.

"I rode straight through from Woodinville, WA to Page, AZ in just over 17 hours just to laugh at beemerdons.
That is also when I decided that extra light is not a option but a necessity."
I lost all of my pictures from Page and Bar 106, just damn it.

Holy crap... I'm just now seeing this as I have been spending time with the family over the holidays and staying away from online stuff. Just met Don at EOM but have seen his posts and commentary for quite some time. Definitely a guy that loved life and loved living.
I've updated the first post with information that has been posted throughout this thread regarding memorial service, wake, and donations in lieu of flowers so it's easy to find everything in one place (thanks, Bug!).

If you requested a BeemerDonS JSNS sticker before 11 am today, it is in the mail. They've all gone first class in standard #10 envelopes.
If you don't get yours within the next week or so, let me know. I've still got a few that could be shared. And if you haven't asked for one yet, and you would like one, don't be bashful.Just PM me with your address and I'll send one along as long as they last.
Sticker arrived today. Nicely done. Thank you for doing this.

For some reason I keep expecting Don to reply to some of these entertaining posts. Miss him.

Add my name to the list of peeps that only had the chance to meet Don a couple of times but appreciated those times.
We have lost a ton of good people on the Forum over the decade that I've been involved. It's a shame all the love only pours out when folks are gone.
For the record even though, It's been a long time, I want to give a shout out to Skooter, Ignacio, Carver and Barry up in Seattle. I really enjoyed meeting you guys and would love to cross paths again on bikes, at a rally or otherwise.
I know that this is the part where I am supposed to make an insulting, witty quip confirming my manliness but I'm not feeling the need.

Damn, ran across this while answering a PM tonight.
I sent this PM to Don but think he had already left on the cruise........
I'm pretty sure he would have replied had he opened the link.
I hope he has access to his PM's where he is today.
