DON (STORKY) VANDERGRAAF
April 7, 1959 - February 14, 2022
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Don, he was a father, grandfather and great friend to many.
He was predeceased by his father and leaves behind his son, Donald (Kayleigh) grandchildren, Hadleigh, Henry and Heath; his mother Helen, brothers Adrian and Robert and his sister Cathy.
Don worked many jobs over the years which allowed him to do the things he loved best such as hunting and fishing. Don was also an avid fan of drag racing and even raced himself starting with a pro-stock Mustang and finally ending up with a sling shot dragster. He also loved his Harleys.
Don enjoyed working on cars and trucks and could regularly be found in the back yard having beers with the boys once the job was done. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date this summer. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Don's name to the Wildlife Foundation.
