(Born Donald M. Passamani)
Donald Pass, 79, of Meadow Vista, Calif., passed away on September 19, 2013 with his family by his side.
A Placer County resident for nearly 50 years, Don was born in 1934 in Solvay, New York to Mario and Filomena Passamani. His family moved to San Leandro, California in the 1940's where he worked with his father in the family construction business while attending San Leandro High School.
Don attended San Jose State University, and graduated from the California Highway Patrol academy where he trained as a CHP motorcycle enforcement officer. He was transferred to Auburn in 1966 where he continued his work in law enforcement. He later graduated from the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia and worked as Chief Investigator for the Placer County District Attorney's Office.
Don was a kind and generous man who always had a smile on his face and never met a stranger. He loved life and had a genuine gift for making friends wherever he went. Don would give the shirt off his back to help anyone in need. He was an active member of Auburn's Tahoe Club. He enjoyed Italian food, good wine, good music, good friends, and spending time at the family cabin in Lake Almanor, fishing, boating and entertaining the many friends he had known and loved.
Don was preceded in death by wife Nancy Pass, and son David Pass.
A public viewing will be held at Chapel of the Hills, 1331 Lincoln Way Auburn, Calif., on Thursday September 26, 2013 from 5 to 7 p.m. followed by a rosary.
