Donald Ray Dooyema

Donald Dooyema, born October 3, 1958, born in Minnesota and raised in Sumas, WA, sadly passed Sunday April 28, 2024, peacefully in his own home. As he spent his life roaming the United States as a truck driver for 30+ years, he met some of his closest friends and decided to finally  settle in Lynden. Apart from his everyday activities, he enjoyed watching NASCAR and the Seahawks on the weekends and being with his family when he could.
