On July 8, 2018 God called Donald A. Zuchowski home to be reunited with his loving parents along with his sister and brother.

Don passed unexpectedly at the age 72 at the Manistee County Medical Facility which he called his home for the past year. During his stay at the facility, he made many new friends whom he considered his extended family.

He was born on October 20, 1945 in Manistee, Michigan son of the late Anthony F. and Evelyn M. (Maternowski) Zuchowski. Don was a graduate of the Flint School for the Deaf class of 1966. He was employed with Fortier Upholstery Company and then later with Manistee Plating Company. Don enjoyed locksmithing. He was a member of the Divine Mercy Parish (St. Joseph Catholic Church).

Despite all his hardships, he still had a positive attitude on life due to his strong faith in God. He will always be remembered for his great sense of humor and infectious smile. He will be greatly missed by his loving family.
