His warmth, humor, and genuine care for others left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Born in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, Don was the son of Donald C. Sowers, Sr. and Sally Sowers. He grew up in Kittanning and went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Music, a passion that would remain with him throughout his life.

Sowers; special friend, Yvonne Seitz and her husband David; siblings Brenda, Russell, Jerry, Kim, Michael, and Marie; his beloved fur baby Winston; and his many friends and teammates at Flanner Buchanan and Legacy Cremation & Funeral Services.
