Donald Gene Niper, 72, of Gaithersburg, Maryland, beloved husband, father, brother, son, and friend to so many, passed away at the R.

Don is survived by his wife Linda, his brother Robert, his two sons Matthew and Brian, their wives Chrissy and Laura, as well as grandsons Brett, Carter, Grayson, Damon and Maxwell.
Don retired in June of 2013, which gave him time to explore some of his favorite hobbies and interests, which included bike riding, trains, and geocaching. Don loved music, and in his spare time enjoyed playing his extensive record collection. Don also loved movies, sports, both watching and coaching, and carrying on casual conversations with friendly people. He was kind, caring, and always there whenever you’d need him. Don was everything you could ever ask for in a son, brother, husband, father, and friend, and his loss will be felt deeply. But for those who knew him, they were truly blessed to be a part of his great life.
