Donald Dean Williamson passed away September 18, 2016, surrounded by a constant vigil by his family.
Donald was born February 24, 1920, to Elmer and Ethel Williamson in Longmont, Colorado. He married Agnes Lavone Mattingly February 24th, 1939; together they had five children.
Don served in the U.S. Navy during World War ll as a Fireman 1st Class on the USS Cassin Young. Donald worked for Corn Construction for 20 years, and was also a member of the Operating Engineers #9 for 73 years.
His grandchildren's favorite memories were filled with BBQ's and "Grandpa" firing up the riding lawn mower and dragging his grandchildren all behind in a little Red Wagon.
Donald was a constant tinkerer. He could be found most evenings in his shop, welding masterful pieces of art or handcrafting amazing knives, to which he gifted each child and grandchild. We all treasure these valuable heirlooms, none more valuable than the time we shared with "Grandpa".
Donald is survived by his loving companion, Isabella Summers; sons: Mark (Janie) and Edward (Vickie) Williamson, both of Moab, UT; daughters-in-law, Diana (Brian, deceased), Pam, and Theresa (Cedar Hawks) (Donald Jr. deceased); 13 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Agnes; two sons: Donald Jr. and Brian; daughter, Jeannette Bailey; son-in-law, Jack Bailey; and grandson, Jason Bailey.
A service will be held at Callahan-Edfast Mortuary on Friday, September 23, 2016, at 11:00 a.m., 2515 Patterson Road. Gravesides services will follow at 1:00 p.m. at Palisade Municipal Cemetery, 3529 Front Street.
