Donald Brinkmann

Donald Brinkmann passed away October 31, 2022 at the age of 67.

Beloved brother of Douglas and son of Dorothy Brinkmann.

Don grew up in Hartland, WI and graduated from Arrowhead High School. He lived in Colorado for many years, returning to Wisconsin when he became ill to be lovingly cared for by his brother Doug.

Don was an over the road semi-truck driver, a job that he loved. He traveled the country from New York to Los Angeles and from Mississippi to Montana. He loved nature and especially enjoyed driving the back roads where he might see animals or beautiful scenery. Don was very outgoing and loved talking to people wherever he went. He will be missed immensely by family and friends.

To remember Don, take time to notice the beauty of nature around you.

A special thank you to the caring staff of Aurora Hospice who provided care and guidance through Don’s long illness.

A Celebration of Life will be held later.
