Linda passed away in 2002 and later he married Debra Fidura. Debra had two sons, Chris and Jake. Don had twelve grandchildren and many great grandchildren. Don loved his family and no one was a stranger to him. He would help anyone that needed it as long as they wanted to help themselves. He was a man who stood for what he believed in and said what he felt. He loved having cookouts and enjoyed having family and friends over. Cooking on the grill was one of his most favorite things to do. The more people the better. He was a truck driver for over 40 years and loved doing it, especially talking on his C.B. radio. He was also known as the Mayor of Buckroe. Throughout those years he drove across country as well as some local driving. But his love was driving across country. He loved fishing, watching football and Nascar. His team was Dallas Cowboys & his favorite driver was Jimmy Johnson. He will be missed and always remembered. Please keep the Hess family in your thoughts and prayers.
