Donald Szukis, 80, entered into eternal life on Sunday, January 19, 2025, at home in Willow Spring, North Carolina, with his loving daughter Heather and canine friend Angelica by his side. Donald was born in Somerville, New Jersey, and was the son of the late John and Yolanda (née Vesprome) Szukis. He grew up in Manville, New Jersey and had lived in Bridgewater, New Jersey and Raubsville, Pennsylvania before settling to Willow Spring in 2005.

Donald was a graduate of Manville High School. He began his career working for the Somerset County Sheriff's Office.  He later changed careers working in the dairy industry with Johanna Farms and Lehigh Valley Dairy Farms as a truck driver and "milkman." Donald enjoyed "playing outside" as he would often say. Some of his favorite outdoor activities were gardening, landscaping, and camping. He enjoyed watching the birds fly and animals wander around his home.

In addition to his parents, Donald is predeceased by his brother, Charlie Szukis.

Donald is survived and will be dearly missed by his loving children, Heather Seaman and her husband Marty Stapleton of Fuquay Variana, North Carolina and Dawn Zdepski and her husband Scott Hresan; dear siblings, Goldie Abruzzesi, John Szukis, and Robert Szukis; four adored grandchildren, Cody Seaman, Ryan Seaman, Phoebe Zdepski, and David Zdepski; along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
