DONALD EUGENE ROUNDS
August 2, 1965
May 29, 2020
Donald Eugene Rounds was born in Munich, Germany on August 2, 1965 to Dell and Annie Rounds. He passed away May 29, 2020. Don grew up in Widefield, Colorado where he graduated from Widefield High School in 1983.
He started his own business as a handyman. Don loved being outdoors, hunting and fishing. He loved chocolate almost as much as he loved his family. He enjoyed playing poker and basketball with his brothers. His contagious laugh, smile, and love for life brought happiness to everyone!
He is preceded in death by his parents, Dell and Annie Rounds; his daughter, Raychele; and his niece, Ashley Petratis. He leaves behind 2 brothers and 4 sisters: Cathy (Harry) Knight, MaryAnn Petratis, Ed (Kristin) Rounds, Carol (Tom) Carle, Sara (Evan) Evans, Dell (Lisa) Rounds; numerous nieces and nephews; and three great nieces and one great nephew. He also leaves behind a very close friend, Diana Ament.
"Go rest high on that mountain Donald, your work here on Earth is done. Go to Heaven a shoutin' love for the Father and the Son." Donald will be missed deeply by all.
In lieu of flowers and cards, donations in Donald E. Rounds' name may be made to the American Heart Association or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

We've known you since you were 2 and you were just as ornery then as you are today. I will miss seeing you out mowing your beautiful yard, waving as you drive by asking me how my Mom is doing. It's time for you to rest from your work here on earth. We will miss you my life long friend.
Rest easy

We were only 12 years old when we met enjoying our friends at school and playing sports. Those were the good old days! I heard of your passing today and was sad and realized how fast time went by. Thank you for being such a great guy to me and my family. I will miss your smile even though I know you are smiling greater being in Heaven. My condolences and prayers to Dell and Sarah whom I remember, as well as the rest of the family.
