Don Warren Fleshman

“For we believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him”.

~~ 1st Thessalonians 4:12-14

Don Warren Fleshman, 54, of Appomattox, Virginia entered his eternal rest peacefully on May, 12, 2023, after a long illness.

Don was born on September 30, 1968 to the late John Henry Fleshman, Sr., and Elizabeth Wright.  In addition to his father he is preceded in death by his sister Dreama.

It was a joy to be around Don, he kept you laughing even when he was declining.  He loved giving people a helping hand when needed, but most of all fishing was his best subject.

~He’s Gone~

You can shed tears that he is gone or you can smile because He lived.  You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back or you can open our eyes and see all that he has left. 

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him, or you can be full of the love that you shared.  You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him only that he is gone or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.  You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what he would want; smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
