After the war, Don was discharged in 1945 at which time he married his bride Katherine Watson. Together they made a home and a life together while raising their five children.

Don is survived by Sons: David (Kathy) Wilkins, Dennis (Linda Peterson ) Wilkins all of Bella Vista, Arkansas, Charles (Kami) Wilkins Olympia, Washington; Daughters: Kimberly Raney, Tamara Salinas, of Omaha Nebraska, his sister, Marian Myers of Geneva, Nebraska, sisters-in-law, Donna Wilkins of Geneva, Nebraska; Evelyn Mosley and Carol Lueke, both of St. Charles, Missouri, and brother-in-law, Walter Watson of St. Charles, Missouri; and many nieces and nephews. Don will be remembered for his strong presence, gentle spirit and his unwavering work ethic, but his lasting legacy are his 14 Grandchildren, 16 Great-grandchildren. Don was preceded in death by wife: Katherine, Grandson Daniel, Granddaughter Ashley, and beloved brother and sisters. In lieu of flowers/Memorials to: Veterans Health Care System of the Ozarks, Attn: Palliative Care Services-Hero's Haven Hospice, 1100 North College Ave, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72703.
