Don Ball

Donald Edwin Ball
Born September 30, 1954, in Gardena, Los Angeles, California to Charles Edwin and Alice LaVon Thomas Ball. Died February 2023 in Santaquin, Utah.
He was the baby of the family but was the largest in stature, which came with a larger than life laugh that will be missed by all who had the chance to hear it.
He graduated from Gardena High School in 1972 where he enjoyed playing basketball. Perhaps his proudest accomplishment in high school was his teeter-totter championship which brought him and his buddy notoriety and an appearance on national television.
He spent much of his life living near his brother David, spending many holidays and other cherished moments with family who will miss him so much.
He recently moved to Santaquin, Utah, which held a special place for him. He had fond memories of the summer months he was able to spend there as a boy visiting his grandparents. That connection remained, drawing him back to start a new life where he still had friends and lasting memories.
He is survived by sister-in-law Lola Ball, brother David (Cody) Ball, sister Susan Ridd, many adored nieces and nephews, and stepson Ian. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Tom Ball and brother-in-law Gordon Ridd.
We love you, Don, and wish we had more time with you. You left us way too soon!
