Donald "Donny" Pearson

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Donald Clement Pearson, who passed away peacefully to heaven at Deer  Lodge Medical Center  on June 1st, 2025 at the age of 82.  Born October 2, 1942 in Deer Lodge,  MT.,  Donald C. Pearson was a kind, faithful man with a witty sense of humor who didn't know a stranger, and  touched countless lives.

Donald C. Pearson, called "Donny" by many friends and family, leaves behind  daughter and his care giver for the last  7 years,  Michelle Pearson, aka "his little buddy" , daughter  Lori Pearson Saba, son-in-law Marwan Saba,  grandson Joshua Saba, brother Kenneth Pearson, and sister-in-law LaVonne Pearson. He also leaves behind many cousins, sister and brother-in-laws, nieces,  nephews, and friends  who will miss his warmth and humor.  He was preceeded in death by his wife of 54 years, Linda Bowman Pearson, his Father Clement Pearson, his Mother Margaret Traverso Pearson, and his infant sister Louise Pearson.

Donald C Pearson was a dedicated employee with great values who gave 100 percent in all he did.  He started young working at age 10 delivering papers for 8 years.  He also worked in the hay fields for Sam Beck as a teenager.  At age 17 he started his career for the USPS in Deer Lodge.  He  also worked in  Lincoln, MT as the postmaster for several years in the 90's. He retired at age 57 after 40 years. If you knew him, you heard his countless stories about the uni bomber.   In his spare time he loved hunting, fishing, reading, taking drives,  and spending time with family and friends.   He loved spending time at his daughter Lori's place with her farm animals, or just watching the cows in recent years, especially during calving season. He would grab a burger with Michelle and watch from the end of the land.

Donald C. Pearson's passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.  His memory will be forever cherished through the countless stories that will continue to be shared.  He was a Christian man who lived a life of love, integrity, and compassion.
