Donald Arthur Haase of Everett, Wash., passed away peacefully in his sleep at the full age of 80. He was born in Chehalis, Wash.
Donald was a graduate of Adna High School class of 1957, and Western Washington University. He spent his life fulfilling his many passions, from helping youth as a 50 year math teacher, advisor and mentor, beautifying yards through landscaping, enjoying the drives and camaraderie with his Cadillac and local classic car clubs, preserving history and heritage through antiquing, and entertaining with his vibrant personality, piano playing and elaborate dinner parties adorned with his Spode China.
Don’s biggest passion was preservation of family. Proud father of three and grandfather of eight, nothing satisfied Don more than knowing family was together, safe and prosperous. He was always there to lend a helping hand, give advice or assist however the family needed. The world has lost an extremely loving, influential and impactful person on this day.
Don is survived by his three children, Daniel (Janette), Diana (Tod) and David (Marie); and eight grandchildren, Kristina Rice (Bryan), Jonathan, Madalyn, Zachary, Thomas, Matthew, Eli and Abigail.
Don’s memorial will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 21, 2019, at Bethany Community Church, 8023 Green Lake Dr. N., Seattle, Wash.
