Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Donald Ray Morsaw, a beloved lifelong resident of White Cloud, Michigan, who departed this world on Saturday, September 6th, 2025, at the age of 57. Don was born on February 19th, 1968, and his life was one marked with service, love, and deep commitment to his family and community.

Don leaves behind his cherished wife, Beth Morsaw, and his loving children; Derrick (Jessica) Morsaw, and their child, Parker, Kodiak Morsaw, and his children, Addilynn (affectionately known as Peanut), Evalynn, Elizabeth, Raylynn, Easton, and Ellyana Keyser and her child, Adelyn. Don is also survived by his siblings, Ronald (Sandy) Morsaw and Melinda Walter, and his mother; Sandie Hoffman, father, Amos Gobble Jr, who shared in the joys and challenges of life with him. Don was preceded in death by his first spouse, Lavonne Iris Morsaw, and mother of his two sons, with whom he shared part of his journey.

A true American patriot, Don served in the Navy, a testament to his dedication to his country. His commitment to service extended into his professional life as well, having spent 7 years protecting the community as a Police Officer with the Grant Police Department. Before that, he served with distinction in various roles, including his work with the Newaygo County Sheriff's Department on their Dive Team, Reserve Deputy, and Sheriff's Deputy. Don also was a firefighter and EMT with the Big Prairie Fire Department. Don was always eager to lend a hand where it was needed most. An individual of many interests, Don had a lifelong passion for metal fabrication and hunting. Above all, his life was driven by a profound belief in helping others and a strong faith that guided his spirit and was a proud and devoted grandfather. As we say goodbye to Don, we hold near and dear the memories of love, laughter, and kindness he shared with us all. His spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him. Don will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
