Donald Warfel peacefully left this world to be with Jesus on Friday, May 17, 2024. Don was born in Lewistown, PA on August 31, 1932. He was 91. Don was a devout Christian and a member of Mt. Zion Methodist Church in Mechanicsburg, PA. Don was a 32 Degree Mason with a Fifty-Year service emblem with the R.W. Grand lodge of PA. He was a Veteran, having served with the U.S. Navy during the Korean War as a radarman on the USS Fessenden. He was a great friend to many people and never met a stranger. He may have forgotten your name but never your face. He loved dogs. While he did not have one in a while all the dogs in the neighborhood would stop for a visit and a biscuit from his can. He is survived by three children, Wendee, David and his wife Debbie, Gela and her life partner Debbie. Five grandchildren, Matthew, Rachel, Patrick, Nicholas, Katherine and 14 great-grandchildren. He will be missed by many. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made in his name to either Mt. Zion Methodist Church in Mechanicsburg, PA or to the New Birth of Freedom Council, BSA where he helped shape the lives of hundreds of young men for many years.

My dad was a man like no other. If you met him you would never forget him. He was not a typical 91 almost 92 year old man. He lived alone and was able to take care of himself. I was blessed to spend so much time with dad. After I retired we were always together. This time is so very very hard for me as I have lost my best friend but as a Christian I know I will see him again. My dad was a faithful Christian and I know he is in heaven with our Lord and mommy and the family. Daddy, I love you so much, but in time I will be O.K, until we meet again.
Uncle Don was a strong family man.
He adored his wife Belle until she passed
He was dad to many. Grandfather to ma my
He loved his family right up to the end
We will miss you Uncle Don
