Donald David Haxby

Donald David Haxby born on 25 July 1940 went to be with the Lord on October 26, 2021, after a long battle with cancer. He leaves behind his wife Barbara (Bruck) Haxby. They were together for 28 years.

Don was the fourth of 11 children and was raised in Whitehall, Montana. After a three-year stint in the Army he returned to the Whitehall area and logged with his brothers for many years. Even after retirement he always sized up the trees, pointing out to anyone around what tree would be a good one to cut.

Don loved to garden and always had enough vegetables to share with his family and friends. He was a collector of many things and always said “If I don’t have it, you don’t need it”.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his four children, three stepchildren, many grandchildren and several great-grandchildren. He is also survived by seven of his siblings and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

A memorial service at the Whitehall Assembly of God Church will be Saturday, November 6, 2021 at 1030 followed by a pot-luck luncheon at the church.
