Donald E. Essex Obituary

We are sad to announce that on November 24, 2024 we had to say goodbye to Donald E. Essex in Springfield, Missouri, born in Deer, Arkansas. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Donald E. Essex to show support.

As Donald departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Donald may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Donald leaves behind.

He was predeceased by: his parents, William Thomas Essex and Hester Essex (Torix); and his granddaughter Victoria Lacy (Varady). He is survived by: his wife Ruth Essex; his child Seldon Essex (Tammy); his granddaughter Donna Varady (Essex); and his siblings, Coy Essex (Janice) of Harrison and Sara Jump (Ron) of Bolivar.

The family suggests that memorial donations may be made to the Fair Haven Children's Home, Strafford, MO.
