Donald Glen Danielson was born November 30, 1935 in Cavalier County of North Dakota to Bernard and Bertha (Bjornson) Danielson. He grew up and attended school in Cavalier County.
On May 24, 1956, Don married Marie Theresa Gadaire at Leroy, ND. He worked in Walhalla before moving to the Los Angeles area. While there he owned and operated a welding and manufacturing shop and also worked as a mechanic. In 1970, they moved back to Walhalla. Don worked as a mechanic for Metelmann Farms, Northern Improvement, and Mayo Construction until his retirement.
Don enjoyed tinkering and fixing almost anything. In earlier years you could find him playing guitar in the evenings, he had a beautiful singing voice, if you could hear him. He was such a good guy and did kind things for others that he did quietly and made no mention of. We loved that about him.
He is survived by his children: Steve (Karen) Danielson, McVille, ND, Laura (Ken) Wiebe, Penticton, BC, Canada, Glenn Danielson, Walhalla, ND, Jeff (Charissa) Danielson, Poughkeepsie, NY, Tim (Jenny) Danielson, New Salem, ND; grandchildren: Cori (Tim) Hartje), Dawn (Scott) Hauck, Rich Danielson (Kayla); Jonathan Wiebe, Bryan (Julianne) Wiebe, Lindsay (Jody) Baker; Guy Danielson (Tonya), Anthony (Nicole) Danielson, Wade Danielson (Amanda); Rebekah (James) Hill, Sarah Danielson; Tovah Danielson, Sistene Danielson, Shea Danielson; 18 great-grandchildren; siblings: Neil Danielson, Sylvia Gaspard, and Beth Mathison.
Preceding him in death were his parents; wife, Marie on November 3, 1976; brothers: Carl, Chris, Bjorn "Dan", Pete, Dale, Ray, Emil, and Lloyd Danielson; sisters: Ethel and Gloria.
