Donald Sophus Sophusson

November 11, 1955 - May 17, 2017

Donald S. Sophusson, age 61, passed away on May 17, 2017 in Ferndale, WA. He was born in Bellingham on November 11, 1955. Don, or "Donnie", as he was affectionately known as, grew up in Bellingham with his siblings and parents at their lake house. As a young adult he became a commercial fisherman, spending seasons away working in Alaska. He made many friends along his travels and most became more like family. Don had a love for beautiful cars and beautiful women. He was blessed with three daughters, one step daughter and later two biological daughters with his long term partner Debbie. His girls were his world so his excitement about becoming a Grandpa came as no surprise. Don absolutely adored his three granddaughters. Late in life Don enjoyed spending time with his partner Donna, his kids and grandkids. He loved sharing his knowledge of the world and telling his stories from his life's adventures. He will be fondly remembered for his sense of humour and fun loving spirit. Donald is preceded in death by his father F. Sophus Sophusson. Donald is survived by his mother Drusilla (Tom) Tostenson, daughters Trisha and Kristy Sophusson, step-daughter Keri (Abas) Soaadi, siblings David (Becky) Sophusson, Diane Sophusson, Druann (Johnnie) Sophusson Bias and Debra (Ed) Sophusson Clark, granddaughters Mckenna Whitely, Jaidyn Beauchamp and Alia Soaadi and partner Donna Daniels as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
