Don was a long time accountant & friend of my deceased husband, Paul Sorrels, who, with his partners owned American Foam Rubber Products of Dallas. After Paul's death, Don remained a mainstay in my life to support, explain & help resolve issues as they arose. He was considerate, dependable & a great guy. He will be missed.
I was so sorry to hear of Don's passing. I first met Don in the early 60's at the Mercantile Bank and he was a great friend. We spent many good days discussing politics, football and locating good chicken fried steak. He and I have a lot catching up to do and it will take place in that CITY described in the Book of Revelation. To all of his family and friends—Don will be waiting there to see you and don't miss that glorious reunion.
Don was a friend of my late husband.They worked together at Grace Presbyterian Village in Dallas. In the years since then, Don and Marshal and I have met a various Prresbyterian functions and frequently visited with each other at Park CityClub. Don's death came as a shock to me and I am so sorry about losing him. Please know I care and the family will be in my prayers. Carolyn Walton

Don Tidwell was one of the finest individuals I have ever known. A man of great faith, kindness, loyalty and compassion – and someone who I know was greeted in heaven with "well done good and faithful servant". I first met Don in 1999, when I had the honor of being hired to lead Grace Presbyterian Village. Don and his wife Phyllis had been longtime supporters of Grace, serving on their boards, establishing the foundation (that supports benevolent care and more) and volunteering in so many ways. Phyllis became a patient of Grace due to a brain aneurism and spent 14 years in skilled nursing and Don never missed a single day of being with her. He was beloved by all of the staff who still to this day talk of his loving loyalty to his wife as he sat by her bedside, held her hand and let her know that he was there for her and loved her – even if she couldn't say it back. After her passing, Don continued to support Grace, the rest of our ministry and so many other causes as well. He did so quietly and humbly, not for personal glory but because it was the right thing to do. Matt – I wish I had known your mother when she was the vivacious woman I heard the wonderful stories about. I was told again and again that she was amazing. I am blessed to have known your father, he was – as you know – incredible. He left you a legacy of humble service and caring, much like my father did for me and we are both blessed to have had men like them as role models. I am keeping you in prayers in this time of grief and appreciate your allowing me to be a part of your family and your support system. Marsha – thank you for loving Don and being not just such an incredible blessing to him but sharing his love for the many ministries you both supported. You too are an incredible person of faith and appreciated by ALL of us. I am so sorry for your loss as well and can only imagine how much you are missing him. Blessings to you in this time of grief. We lost a wonderful man – who left the world a better place than he found it.
