    Don was an amazing person. We have many memories of him during our Fremont Football and FNYB Baseball days with the King Family. He was not only Tyler and Tanner's loving grandfather but the adopted grandfather of all on our sports teams. He was there at every game and I can't remember a time that he missed a game. He had a heart of gold and always helped our teams out when needed. He will be deeply missed by all and I wish love and comfort in the months to come to Mike, Marilyn, Tyler, Tanner and the entire King Family. May you rest in Peace Don, Love The Montes Family ( Sam, Debbie, Justin and Jacob)
