AUBURN – Donald Leroy Updike, 67, of Auburn, went to his last resting place in Nov. 12, 2021. Donald was born in Auburn and attended Weedsport schools, where he was on the swimming and wrestling teams. He works at the Auburn Foundry and Gould’s Pumps in Seneca Falls, where he has made many lasting friendships. He proudly retired in 2014 after 34 years of service.

Donald is an avid outdoor enthusiast who loves hunting, fishing, gardening, barbecue, and NASCAR. He is a loyal football fan with his favorite team being the LA Rams. He was a simple man who loved his family and friends above all and would do everything for them. She enjoyed all the holidays, and entertained her loved ones through random visits, her fresh vegetables sent from her precious garden, special meals, or some delicious food she prepared. She is an important part of her family’s life and will sadly be missed by everyone.

Survivors to cherish his memory are his three daughters: Melissa Heckstall and her husband, Michael, Donna and Sarah Updike and their mother, Sharon Kowal; also survived seven grandchildren: Aneesa and Mecca Brooks, Alexis (Kyle) Williams-Beck, Lucas Muhlnickel, Justin and Madison Aldrich, Elijah Lawton; a great -grandson, Liam Guerra; his brother Mark Updike; his sister, Stephanie Wright; two special nephews: Jesse and Danny Updike; his aunt, Patricia Burleson; some nephews, nephews; and cousin. Donald also had a very special person and friend in his life until his passing, Mr. Peter Montross, who became his father and mentor in his youth. He was preceded in death by his mother, Helen Wright and brothers, William and Charles Updike, Sr.

Contributions can be made in Donald’s memory at the Falcon Sportsman’s Club of Auburn, or that you perform a random act of kindness, open a can of his favorite Labatt’s Blue, burn the grill, and play some good old rock. and roll music.

It’s not goodbye but “see you later.”

The family will receive friends from 4 to 6 pm Friday, Nov. 19, 2021 at Plis Funeral Home, 220 State St., Auburn.
