Don was born in Indianapolis, Ind., on June 5, 1941, to John and Maxine (Floyd) Hathaway.   

Don was owner and operator of Pioneer Cleaning for more than 30 years.  

He spent the majority of his life in service to his God, Jehovah. He loved his creator and spending time in nature.  

Don was one of the most loving, kind, compassionate and giving souls. He was well known and loved in the community and never met a stranger. He was generous and had a good sense of humor.  

He enjoyed fishing, going to horse races, especially the Kentucky Derby and looking forward to the visits from his daughter and grandchildren. He enjoyed spending time at his lake house in Santa Claus.   

He is survived by his one daughter, Tami Gibson of Derby Line, Vt.; two grandchildren, Cole Crowder and Olivia Edmonds; two brothers, Jim and Dave Hathaway; and his companion for over 22 years, Janice Bieker of Jasper.
