Donald Anthony Solchenberger

Don Solchenberger was called home to his heavenly rest at the young age of 54. He had a wonderful life with many friends and family. Don had a successful career as a machinist for thirty plus years while raising two sons that he cared for deeply. He worked very hard to take care of his family and was a dedicated father and grandfather to two grandchildren. Don enjoyed playing his guitar along with writing songs and poems. Don was a man who always showed his passion and love in whatever he did. Whenever times got tough Don would always get tougher and rise above anything that tried to hold him back. Don lived a very fulfilling life if life can measured by one man's works. His happiness always brought joy to everyone around him. This remarkable man will truly be missed.
