On May 6, 1958, Don was born to the union of Donald Frederick Wehmeier Sr. and Mary (Leber) in St. Louis, Missouri.

Don and Amy enjoyed their travels together, having the opportunity to visit, Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, Ireland as well as many of the States in the U.S. One of his most memorable trips was to Strasburg, Pennsylvania to see the largest train museum. As well as Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan. The most beautiful trip for Don was to Banff, Alberta up on the Gondola. Don could make anyone laugh and make anything work. One time the lawnmower wouldn't work, and he told Amy to get an ink pen and take the spring from it. The next thing you heard was the lawn mower running. Don was an avid car enthusiast and Cardinal's fan. He had T-shirts, blankets, pillows, shoes, coolers, books, characters and much more in his collection. Channel 671 on the T.V. almost every day or night could be guaranteed to offer a game. Don owned and operated his own construction company and being handy with all sorts of tools and his immense knowledge of construction allowed Don the ability to build the home that he would raise his family in over the years. He will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.
