FIELDS, DONALD “DON” EVERETT

Donald “Don” Everett Fields, age 54, of Pontiac, MI, peacefully passed away on Friday, November 3, 2023. He is survived by his loving brother, Dave (Lisa) Fields, and sister, Kim (Mike) Asaro, as well as nieces, nephews, and numerous loving friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Melva and Connie Fields, and his beloved dogs, Bud and Murphy. Born on October 3, 1969, in Pontiac, MI, Don lived the majority of his life in Waterford, MI. He was a graduate of Waterford Kettering High School, Class of 1987, and worked as a Secondary Shift Lead for Profil for 11 years. He had a passion for all things adventurous. Some of his fondest memories were created while snowmobiling, enjoying trips up north, visits to Cedar Point, attending concerts, driving fast cars, and spending quality time with his friends, whom he considered family. He had a special appreciation for their canoe trips. Don’s fiercely independent and proud nature was evident in his courageous battle against cancer, a fight he valiantly maintained for over four years. He will be forever remembered for his gentle soul, quick-witted humor, and unwavering determination. In lieu of a traditional funeral, Don’s expressed wish was for a Celebration of Life.
