Don Rasmussen was called home to be with his Lord on July 25, 2009. Donald Arthur Rasmussen was born May 29, 1921 here in Kalispell Montana. He was the son of Christian Mary (Jorgenson) and Rasmussen. Donald was the sixth child but the first boy. His five older sisters took very good care of him.
After school Don went to work in the grocery business first as a delivery boy then on to working in and managing several different groceries here in town. He even owned his own small grocery the “Eastside Superette”.
Don served in the US Army during World War II. His tour of duty took him to the South Pacific. He returned home in December of 1945 to his family and his “girl” Doris Lunde. Don and Doris were married on June 9th 1946.
Doris preceded Don in death in 2002. In August of 1951 their only son Lamar was born. He preceded both his parents in death in 1993.
Don was a man of faith who loved his Lord. He served God through work in the church but most of all in the way he led his life. He loved people and had a wonderful sense of humor.
He is survived by his daughter in law Suzanne Rasmussen and his three grandsons, Aaron and his wife Terri, Joel and his wife Amanda and Kirk also several nieces and nephews.
We celebrate his life and the joy of knowing that he is now resting in the arms of his Savior no more pain no more sorrow.
