A Great Man of God! Who was faithful to the very end. He blessed many through the preaching of God's Word. I'm glad I have been a recipient of that blessing for 24 Years at Bible Baptist Church. One day I will see you in Heaven, my brother, my preacher.

It´s hard to express the love and gratitude we have for Brother Don. We have enjoyed his revival ministry for more than thirty years. He became a dear friend and we are truly blessed to have known this wonderful man. To Sister Linda and the family, our prayers are with you at this time.

The church wishes to extend our condolences to the McCann family. We are going to especially miss Brother Don this August. It would have been our revival and it will not be the same without he and Sister Linda with us. We grieve but not without hope because we know we will see him again. May God comfort and bless each of you.
