Don Stibbe, Jr. exhibited enthusiasm in all he did throughout his life, whether it was operating his own small neighborhood grocery store in Elmhurst, or managing as broker/owning his own successful RE/MAX Real Estate business. Whatever Don did, his intent was to do it right and do it well. His focus was always on a satisfied customer or client.
Don was known for having a strong work ethic, a mind for business, a genuine concern for other people’s needs and a faith in God that developed early in his life. He lived a full life. He had a multitude of interests that he enjoyed in his free time including fishing and landscaping his yard. He cherished his travels and took great pleasure in learning about history. Don deeply loved his family and will be missed by his two sons, Daniel and Scott, his two sisters Ruth (Roy) Hanschke and Connie (Dick – deceased) Deets, his granddaughter Skylar Stibbe as well as many nieces and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews and friends. Don’s loving parents, Don and Georgia Stibbe (both deceased) were wonderful parents who were very proud of their son’s many accomplishments.
Don passed away on Monday, June 12. His body was donated to science and will thereafter be cremated. His ashes will be buried on the family farm in Wisconsin, which he dearly loved. Don had requested that upon his death there would be no public memorial service. Condolences can be sent to the family via [email protected]. Information provided by Pedersen Ryberg.
