ZACHOW, Donald Reid

—

Donald Reid Zachow (Papa, Uncle Don, Don, Donnie Boy, Big D) moved on to his permanent residence in Heaven on Sunday, July 9th, 2017 at the age of 67.

Don is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 45 years, Diana. They have five amazing daughters and son in laws; Cheryl Zachow & Trevor Lange, Cindy & Sean Gordon, Crystal & Jason Woehler, Chantal & Sean Evaskevich, and Carley Zachow & Shawn Stoddard. Don was very proud of all of his 7 grandchildren; Hayden, Brett, Rylan, Devon, Kylie, Levi and Nolan. Don was the second youngest of seven children, and is survived by sisters Glenda (Vince) Weigel, Carolyn (Jim) Swallow, Gloria Grant, and Pat Zachow (Brian Ralph); his sister in law Debra Paxman, brother in law Stan Paxman, brother in law Michael Korpan and sister in law Ann Korpan.

He was a family man who loved to be surrounded by his kids, grandchildren and extended family. The more the merrier…

Don had varied jobs in his earlier years, and in most recent years was self-employed, running a local business in Lake Country, Don’s Bobcat.

Don was a dreamer, always eager to make plans for the next big family adventure or getaway. He loved his tools and always had a project on the go, forever looking to recruit helpers, which was usually one of his daughters.

Don loved gold panning at the family claim on the Kettle River. He spent many hours panning for gold, always searching for that “Big Nugget”.

Don’s journey continues on……

    It is with great sadness that I write this. Don was a very dear special man and I am glad to have known him even the little bit that I did. He set such an example of parenting and grandparenting and family that will continue on down the generations and inspire everyone who knew him. To Diana and all of Don’s family and extended family, our love and prayers are with you always. Love Julie and Roy

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
