Donald “Butch” Taphouse passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at his home at Vista Springs. The youngest of his family, he was born in Ann Arbor and lived most of his life in Owosso. He was born with Cerebral Palsy but never let that get in the way of the rich and fulfilling life he would go on to live. He married the love of his life Joyce Stinson on May 10, 1968. He became a father, grandfather and a great grandfather against all the odds that were presented at the time of his birth. Don retired from Georgia Pacific after 26 years where he enjoyed spending time with coworkers, some who became long time friends. He loved to do woodworking in his garage, enjoyed his wife’s homemade cookies, everything to do with horse drawn wagons and spending time with family.Donald will be deeply missed by those he leaves behind, his son and daughter in-law, James and Teanna Taphouse, daughter, Rose Taphouse, sister, Dora Mae Marble, granddaughters and grandson in-law, Teanna and David Piper and Jordee Taphouse, great grand children, Maddison and Luke Piper, several nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. Many of his loved ones have passed on and were waiting to see him again, especially his wife, Joyce Taphouse, son William Taphouse, his parents, Harold and Dora Taphouse, and many siblings and cousins and loved family members and are all proud and blessed to have had Donald “Butch” in our lives, he touched all of us as he lived life with strength, love and kindness.
