Donald Merle Armson, 69, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, December 22, 2022. Donald was born in Portage, Wisconsin on June 9, 1953, to parents Norma and William Armson.

Donald graduated from Portage High School in 1971. After high school, Don attended UW-Whitewater Class of 1975 earning a BBA in Business Communications. He held several retail positions taking him to Iowa, Oregon, and Alaska. He was the middle child of five brothers, and also a twin.

Don is survived by brothers William (Michelle), Gary (Joann), Ronald, and James (Toni). He is also survived by several relatives and good friends. Don is preceded in death by his parents, and sister-in-law Susan.

Don loved photography and travel. He explored several interesting locations with his mother, including a trip to Norway, where he explored his inner Viking. Don had incredible trivia knowledge and loved his Green Bay Packers. Don at 6'7", was a big guy with a bigger smile. He was always the man who would give you his shirt off his back and was a friend to all who met him. He loved to laugh, have fun, and celebrate life. Despite being totally blind the last 10 years, Don lived on his own and was very proud of his independence. Don's last position was a volunteer at the Saukville Humane Society and was a greeter to perspective pet adopters. They called him the "puppy whisperer", with almost a 100% adoption rate. On the Tribute Page is a clip of Don at the Humane Society that was featured on the local news a few years ago.

A visitation for Don will be held on Thursday, March 30, 2023 from 2pm to 3pm at Eernisse Funeral Home in Port Washington.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Saukville Humane Society are greatly appreciated.
