Don Mark Petryk

For 42 years, Don was a devoted husband and a steadfast partner in every aspect of life. He exemplified quiet strength, personal integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility. Don expressed his love through action rather than words — maintaining every detail of the home, ensuring every vehicle was in perfect working order, or tending the fire during the coldest winter nights. His reliability was a constant source of comfort and stability. 

A gifted problem-solver, Don approached every project with precision and care. Whether designing a prototype or building anything, his work reflected both his skill and his devotion to those he loved. His presence was calm, capable, and grounding.

 Don found great joy in riding his Harley, especially alongside friends from the North GA Mountain Riders club. The open road brought him peace and a sense of freedom he cherished deeply. He will be remembered for his humor, his kindness, his thoughtful nature, and the quiet way he made life better for everyone around him. 

Don was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Irene and Bohdan. He is survived by his loving wife, Diana, and by extended family who will always hold his memory close.
