Donald James Kasper passed away on Sunday, May 21, 2017 under the excellent care of Windsong Care. He was born on October 15, 1924 in Iona, Minnesota.
Don was a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy. He married Marcy Johnson on February 11, 1947. In 1956, the couple moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, where he worked as a sheet metal journeyman on local 359. He retired as a general foreman and superintendent.
Don is preceded in death by his loving wife of 68 years, Marcy, and four of his siblings. He is survived by his sister, Maryann, and brother, Bob; Sister-in-law, Phyllis; daughter, Jan; son, Daivd (Kim); three grandchildren, Luke (Jen), Eric, and Halle; and great-grandson, Cole.
There will be a celebration of his life at 10:00 am on Friday, June 16, 2017 at All Saints Catholic Church, 1534 N. Recker Road, Mesa, Arizona 85205. Also, a reception will follow the service at Velda Rosa Clubhouse, located at 58th Street and Colby. Donations are appreciated for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital or Hospice of the Valley.
We were proud to have Don as an employee at J.B. Rodgers Mechanical Contractors. He was always upbeat and innovative in his approach to all projects and a great leader and mentor to the apprentices he worked with (myself included). He will be greatly missed by the J.B. Rodgers Family.
Rest in Peace.
