Langevin El Paraiso Funeral Home

We lost a great man. Donald Loran Desallier, 76, passed away on August 15, 2021 at his home in Yakima, WA after a brief battle with cancer, surrounded by the love of his family. Don was born in Yakima on January 5, 1945.

After graduating from Bainbridge High School in 1963, he joined the military and served in Korea.

In his interesting work life, Don worked on farms, in hops, had his own cleaning business, a car salesman, a Home Depot associate, installed irrigation systems in Saudi Arabia , and a mechanic in food warehouses. In 1992, Don started as a maintenance man at Lake Aspen Apartments in Yakima. For the last 20 plus years, Don has worked for the Bortons as a maintenance supervisor for their apartments. Don loves this work and the people he works with. They became his second family.

Before moving to Yakima, Don lived in Grandview where he, his wife, daughter and granddaughter had a small farm full of animals and acres of alfalfa to care for.

Favorite activities at the dons include family gatherings where she can barbeque for everyone. She loves working in her yard planting flowers, changing or fixing whatever she can, shopping at Home Depot, and traveling. He visited Costa Rica and Panama. His last trip was to Las Vegas in June where many family members joined as a surprise.

Don overcame many difficult obstacles in his life. He continued, not letting them discourage him from his chosen path.

Don is survived by his wife of 35 years Julie Loomis, daughter Shelly Freeze (Jason), stepdaughter Toni Fogli, stepson Marty Fogli (Rochelle), grandchildren David Rudd (Ashli), Jaclynn Biggers (Catlin), Amy Hamilton (Chris), great -grandchildren Lilye Bodden, Izabella Biggers, siblings Vida Johansen (Ross), Colin Carson (Teresa) and many nieces and nephews.

Don was preceded in death by his father Theodore Desallier, mother Violet Carson, brothers Ted, Robert and Mary. Sadly, his partner in the fight against cancer, brother -in -law Bill Priest, passed away just four days before Don. Fill in the Funeral Home service details.

In exchange for flowers, the family suggests a donation in the name of Dons to a Veterans or cancer help group of your choice.

The family would like to thank Selah Family Medicine, North Star Lodge, Heartlinks Hospice and Aveanna Healthcare for responding quickly to this time of rapid transition crisis.

I love Don dearly and will miss him a lot.

A memorial service will be held at 1:00 pm on Friday, September 3, 2021 at the Langevin El Paraiso Funeral Home. Forgotten memories and expressions of sympathy can be shared at www.lepfuneralhome.com.
