Donald D. Deibler

Donald Dale Deibler, 88, of Tower City has gone home to be with Our Heavenly Father with his family by his side at the Lebanon Veteran's Medical Center on Wednesday, July 3, 2024.

Donald was a kind and gentle man who loved Jesus with all his heart. He instilled that in his children at an early age and throughout our lives. He was our mother's caregiver for 20 + years through her journey with Parkinson's disease and taught us what unconditional love is about. His love for her was immense and we are still in awe of his devotion to her. They are now reunited in heaven, and we are certain it was a glorious reunion.

Donald loved his country and served in the United States Army. Upon his discharge, he took on a career as a heavy equipment operator until his retirement. At an early age, he grew up on a farm and pursued his love for farming as a hobby during retirement. He was known for his prize tomatoes and always had plenty to share with everyone. He loved animals and had two potbelly pigs he adored named Effie and Millie.

In addition to his parents, J. Daniel Deibler and Estella Irene Bender Deibler, he was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 55 years, Patricia Cretarole Deiber; a sister and five brothers; a son-in-law, Michael R. McAloose.

He leaves behind his three daughters, Jody McAloose (David Grbich), Tammy Long (Michael), and Tracy Brennan (Matthew); a son, Danny Deibler (Stephanie Medellin); a granddaughter, Alexis Deibler; a brother Galen Deibler and sister-in-law Faye Deibler; many nephews and nieces.

His love and affection will be missed by his granddogs, Otis, Pearl, Raven, Violet, Timber, and Birdie, and a grandkitty, Bobbie.

Following Donald's wishes, there will be no formal services. He will be laid to rest privately with military honors in the St. John's Cemetery, Berrysburg.
