April 8, 1935 \u2013 Sept 24, 2022<\/p>\n

Donald William Atkins passed away peacefully the morning of September 24, 2022, at the Mirador Retirement Community in Corpus Christi, Texas. He was 87 years old. Donald was born in Sheridan Township on April 8, 1935, to Thelma and William Clarence Atkins. He was a U.S. Navy Veteran of the Vietnam War, having served from June 1953 to September 1976, with overseas duty in Japan, the Philippines, and Morocco. He attained the rank of Master Chief. Upon retirement from the Navy, he opened his own business, D&M Major Appliance Repair in Ingleside, Texas. Don was a lifetime member of the Catholic Church, most recently as a parishioner at St. Philip\u2019s Catholic Church. He loved the beauty of God\u2019s green earth, always took the time to admire sunsets, and was a good steward of the property he owned. Don enjoyed camping with his family throughout the United States, and was an avid dancer his whole life including country and western, round, and square dancing. Donald is survived by his wife, Marylin Atkins; his children Denise Gray (David), Ronald Atkins, Robert Atkins (Nancy), and Michelle Atkins; his grandchildren Joshua Gray, Kayla Vandercooi (Stuart), and Dylan Gray; his sisters-in-law Shirley Krautbauer, Carol Atkins, and Carolyn Atkins; and many nephews, nieces, great-nephews, great-nieces, and friends. He is preceded in death by his siblings Rosemary MacHolda (Don), Richard Atkins, Clarence Atkins (Mary Ann), and Norman Atkins. We are most appreciative for the compassion and care that the staff at Mirador retirement community provided. Everyone who remembers him is asked to celebrate his life in their own way. Funeral Mass will be held at St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church in Corpus Christi, Texas, on November 3, 2022 at 11 a.m. Rosary will begin at 10:30 a.m. The interment will take place at 1 p.m. at Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery, Corpus Christi, Texas.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
