Donald Ray Harron, passed away on  June 20, 2025, surrounded by his wife, cousin Joy and daughter Ashley, after bravely battling cancer for the second time. Born on August 8, 1957, in Virginia, MN, Don lived a full life, surrounded by family and friends who cherished him until the very end.

Don spent his early years moving between Minnesota and Colorado, where he attended schools in Sterling and Merino before returning to Minnesota, where he attended Elk River High School. In December of 1986, he married the love of his life, Debra (Giller), in Cambridge, MN, and they settled in Grasston, MN, where they built a home filled with love and laughter.

Don had a successful career, working nearly 20 years at Hoffman Engineering in Anoka, MN. He later ventured into construction before finishing his working days at Team Powder Coating. No matter where he worked, he brought a strong work ethic and a friendly smile.

Outside of work, Don found joy in the great outdoors. He loved nothing more than spending time hunting deer with his brother Allen and daughter Ashley. An avid fan of demolition derbies, he could often be found in the stands, cheering on his favorites, when he wasn't driving.

Don is preceded in death by his parents, Morris and Jeanette Harron, as well as his sisters Jean Gundmundson and Joyce Harron, and brothers Allen, Delbert, and Wayne Harron. He leaves behind his devoted wife, Debra, and his beloved children, Ashley (Mike) Willenbring and Judy (Floyd) Brannin. He will also be missed by his two grandsons, Easton Willenbring and Hunter Brannin, along with a caring extended family of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and his best buddy, Walt VanVleet.

A Celebration of Life will be planned for later, where friends and family can gather to share stories, laughter, and memories of the incredible man that Don was.

Don will be remembered for his warmth, his kindness, and his unwavering love for his family. He touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed.
