As much as he loved his horses, his family was truly his life. He was a man of incredible character with an infectious smile who made friends with everyone he met; to know him was to love him.

He also leaves behind a brother, Elhue (Evie) Castle of Roseau, MN. Don is preceded in death by his parents, Edgar and Yula Castle, his brother Edgar (Peggy) Castle Jr., his sisters Gladys (Blake) Napper, and Esther (Gene) Perrine, along with several nieces and nephews.
