Among the tributes at Legacy.com is one that is directed directly to him by a man from Foster City, Ca., who served with him:
“Don, It seems like yesterday that you and I were young lieutenants in Grand Forks. Back then your greatest worry was which video game you could borrow from me. I’m sorry that I lost touch over the years.
“I’m also sorry to hear that your life was in turmoil. My prayers are with you and your family. RIP my friend. I hope you have found peace and may your family find solace in this difficult time. As with your family’s wishes, I will be making a donation to a charity in your name.”
Donald Christy leaves behind his parents, two children and his ex-wife. Donald Christy was 42.
