Donald Edward Lehman (1960-2024)

 Donald Edward Lehman, age 64, of Bloomington, Illinois, passed away on November 5, 2024, in Casper, Wyoming.

 Born on May 9, 1960, in Bloomington, Illinois, to George and Sharlene Lehman. Don grew up with a love for the outdoors and a passion for sports. He graduated from Eisenhower High School in Rialto, California in 1979, where he played football. He began his career as a concrete mason and later transitioned to work as a prosthetic technician, a role that allowed him to support and uplift others. Don married and had four children, with whom he shared his love for life, laughter, and the great outdoors.

 Throughout his life, Don embraced every moment he spent on the water: fishing, camping, water skiing and boating on the Colorado River and Lake Mojave. A golfer and baseball player, he proudly played for his hometown team, the Grinders. Football, however, was his greatest sporting passion, and he was known for his enthusiasm and deep love for the game.

 Don was predeceased by his parents, George Lehman and Sharlene Whalen, as well as his brother, Steve Lehman. He is survived by his four beloved children: Donald Lehman, Samantha Potts, Sarahrose Phillips, and Michael Lehman; his brother, Randy Flowers; and his former wife, Christine Talbott. Above all, Don cherished his role as a grandfather and leaves behind eight adoring grandchildren: Emily, Brendin, Tarryn, Michael Joseph, Jaxsun, Alaura, Easton, and Blaise.

 Those who knew Don remember his humor, his honesty, and his fearless approach to life. His spirit and laughter will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. In Don’s memory, a celebration of life will be held in Laughlin, Nevada from May 9-11, 2025, with a gathering on the 10th to honor him, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend.

 We love you, Pop.
