Donald Allen Sommers, age 74, of Rock Creek, Ohio, passed away Tuesday September 28, 2021 at home surrounded by his loved ones.
Donald was born May 23, 1947 in Painesville, Ohio, the son of Lowell and Harriet (Smith) Sommers. He honorably served in the US Army during the Vietnam War from 1966-1968. On August 10, 1985 he married the love of his life, Gale E. (Traylor) Sommers, and together they shared more than 35 years of love and memories.
Donald enjoyed camping and boating especially in Kinzua Alleghany National Forest. He enjoyed all car racing, but NASCAR was by far his favorite. Donald was known for being a skilled carpenter, mechanic, and overall "Mr. Fix it." His greatest joy came from spending time with his family especially his grandsons who always made him laugh.
He is survived by his wife, Gale Sommers; daughter, Jessica (Nick) Betts and their children Miles and Levon; sister, Vera Lee Sommers.
