Donald (Don) Gunder Neystel had his Homegoing on Thursday, July 4th at home with his loving wife Nita, holding his hand. He is now breathing the pure air of heaven, face-to-face with Jesus. Don was born on August 25, 1935 in Bosque County to his parents, Gunder and Ethyl Neystel.

Don served his country in the US Army from May, 1956 to March, 1958 stationed in Germany and stood tall for his God, his country, and his family.

Don and Oneida (Nita) Sparkman Davis married on December 29, 1987. After he retired, he worked for the Winnsboro ISD in Maintenance, for Winkle Oil Company and later assisted with funerals at the Winnsboro Beaty Funeral Home. He was a blessing to everyone wherever he worked.

He loved the Lord and was a wonderful teacher of the Bible and was very involved with his church family at Walnut Street Baptist Church until he wasn't able to attend. He loved his big family with a passion as well as those who were his friends. One of his favorite retirement things was camping with his friends and family. He always enjoyed recalling so many good times with them all. He loved Jesus and his life was exemplary of it to all he knew and met.

Don's mother and father, Gunder and Ethel Neystel, his beloved daughter, Melina , his brothers Travis, Henry, Euel and Buel, and his grandson, Alex Nichols, preceded him in death.

They will so miss him but will cherish all the special times they had with him. He had 13 great grandchildren he adored. He was also special to many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
