Donald Clayton Brackett, 83, of Lake Havasu City, went home to be with
his Heavenly Father on Aug. 6, 2020. He was born in Los Angeles on
March 4, 1937 to Ralph and Margaret Brackett.

Don grew up in the San Fernando Valley with his parents and two
sisters, Peggy and Judy. He attended Van Nuys High School where he was
a member of the diving team and developed a real gift for wood-working
that became a life-long passion for him.

After high school, Don joined the Army National Guard and then the US
Army for a total of 7 years. After leaving the military, Don started a
business in the flooring industry that lasted over 30 years.

Don was a member of the Varmint Hunters Association, the NRA, the Road
Runner's Camping Club and the Moose Lodge.

After retiring, Don and his wife Nancy moved to Lake Havasu City,
Arizona where they enjoyed boating, fishing, golfing and Don continued
with his wood-working. Don loved his jigsaw puzzles, Sudoku and also
playing Pinochle with his friends at the Senior Center.

Don's family meant the world to him. He loved them very much. He also
loved his Bethany Bible Church family. But most of all, he loved his
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Margaret Brackett,
sister, Margaret Evelyn Hernandez and three grandchildren, Charlie,
Corrine and Christian.

Don is survived by his beloved wife, Nancy; his children, Russ
Anderson (Rita), Chuck Anderson (Diana), Donald Brackett, Jr. (Lisa),
