Donald Galen Mathews, age 68, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, September 25, 2021.
Donald was born on June 2, 1953 in Jacksonville, Florida and attended Paxon High School. He went on to work for UPS for 37 years prior to retiring. He enjoyed traveling annually to Vegas to celebrate their anniversary every January. He loved watching FSU/Jaguar football, golf and the Yankees!
Donald is survived by his wife Debbie, daughter Kate Mathews, stepdaughters, Angel and Carly Armonas, bonus daughter Cheryl Kennedy. His loving grandchildren, Chase, Charlee, Blake and Remington, brother Keith, sister Vickie (Ronnie), sisters-in-law Kym and Sandy and Brother-in-law Jimmy, many nieces, and nephews. Donald was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend to everyone.
He will be missed, and no one could take his place, but we know our loss is Heaven’s gain.
A memorial service will be planned for a later date.

I couldn’t have asked for a better brother. You were always there if I ever needed someone. Of the four of us, I always remember you as having the best sense of humor and the easiest to get along with. I’ll never forget the good times we had watching baseball games or listening to music. We could go on forever reminiscing about the times you played on my softball team. Those were the days! So many memories. Rest in peace my brother. You’ll be sorely missed.

Debbie I have no words but I’m so sorry. Please Debbie if there is anything you need help with or an ear I’m here. I know how heart broken you are. He’s in Heaven in no Pain and I believe he would want you to celebrate his life as he knew how much you loved him. I love you dear friend.

Papa made an impact on my life. When it came to our talks in the garage, whether if it was about life or even baseball, I enjoyed every minute of it. Getting to know him and listen to his wise words made my day every time I came over. I miss him dearly and hope to see him again someday.
