Donald D. "Don" Treble, 65, of Elkhart, passed away at 4:58 pm on Wednesday, January 18, 2023 at Elkhart General Hospital surrounded by family. Don was born in Valparaiso to the late William A. Treble and Lyndell A. (Dispennett)Treble on March 23, 1957, but he would say it could be March 24 since he had 2 different birth certificates, true story.

Don was known by many and loved by all. He didn’t know a stranger and was a good listener and even better story teller and he had lots! He lived life to the fullest and on his own time. He was active in many sports over the years. In his younger days he enjoyed tennis, then played Mens softball for many years and traveled all around the area and out of state to play, he also played Coed softball with his daughters.

He enjoyed golf and made it known after his stroke in 2018 he could still win when he had balance problems and only had vision in his left eye. He never turned down a game of golf. He loved playing sports and watching his daughters and grandchildren playing.

Don could make up poems and songs on a whim and was talented in wood burning designs. Don was most recently employed by Thor Industries in Elkhart where he worked 10 years until his stroke and he was unable to return.

Don is survived by his daughters, Lori (Tim) Deck of Albion and Jill (Aaron) Coy of Kimmell; Grandchildren- Garren Deck, Lucas Deck, Tysen Deck, Lauren Coy, Harper Coy, Luka Coy; Sister Judith Broadway of Goshen and Brother Steven (Bonnie)Treble of Kentucky; Nephews-Craig Treble, Aaron Treble, Kyle(Susan) Treble, James Treble, Charles Broadway, and Shane Staley; and Nieces-Jessica Treble and Courtney (Ryan) Cassidy.
