Donald Alden Sather was born on December 27, 1950 in Montevideo, Minnesota to Harry Alden and Viola (Swenson) Sather. He was baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church in Montevideo and later confirmed at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Montevideo. Donald attended school and was active in football and wrestling. He later graduated from Montevideo High School in 1970. He enlisted in the United States Army on May 3, 1976, where he worked on tanks while serving in Germany. While in Germany, Donald had a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch the Olympic tryouts with his brother, Mike (who was also serving in the Army). On June 2, 1979, he was honorably discharged and returned home to Minnesota.
Donald began working at the Grain Elevator in Boyd, and then started at Industrial Builders doing construction on bridges. On one of the jobs, he was working near Yellowstone Park and fell in love with the area. He found work as a prep cook for the local tourist attractions, in Yellowstone National Park. When Donald’s Mom needed help, he moved back to Montevideo and worked for Flinn’s. His last place of employment was at Jennie-O in Willmar.
Donald enjoyed fishing and especially visiting. He had a heart to give and showered his family, especially the little ones, with little trinkets and his signature candy bar, Salted Nut Roll.
