Donald Duckworth's Obituary
Donald Joe Duckworth, beloved father and grandfather, passed away peacefully on October 30, 2020 with family present. He was eighty-nine. Known for his quick wit, he was a prolific storyteller, and was never without a joke. He loved to laugh and to make others laugh. He spent most of his time sitting in the carport smoking a cigar and working the crossword puzzle. From his chair he was able to monitor the neighborhood and was affectionately known by his neighbors as the security guard. He was a kind man and always considerate of the feelings of others. He will be missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his four children and seven grandchildren.
A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date to celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made in Don’s name to the Memphis & Shelby County Humane Society.
