This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, SSgt. Donald C. May, Jr. He was born in Richmond, Virginia on October 23, 1971 and passed away during combat operations in Iraq on March 25, 2003 at the age of 31. The tank he was riding in fell off a bridge going over the Euphrates River. All of the men in the tank passed away so please pray for his crew when you pray for Don.....

Don was a wonderful father and husband. Anyone who met Don remembered him because of his smile and his ability to make everyone laugh. He was the guy with the big smile. Don, you will be in our hearts forever........
On the back of Don's memorial cards I had printed:
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
in the hollow of His hand.
Semper Fidelis
Don was honored on Memorial Day 2005. Capital Concerts has a concert on the Capital lawn every year and this year our family was chosen to be featured. They read the beautiful letters that Don had written home. It was the most amazing tribute to Don and his love for us. And gave the American public a chance to see Don as the wonderful father and loving husband he was...........

His Children
Don has three beautiful children--- Mariah, Jack, and Will. Mariah has so many memories of Don...he would walk her to the bus stop every chance he got, he would tease her endlessly, and tuck her into bed using his special "Daddy" technique. She talks about him with a big smile on her face, "Remember when Daddy......" Jack is a Mini-May. So very much like Don in his easy going nature. And he has that same "I can smile and get away with anything" attitude. And Will....never seen by Don here on Earth....has Don's eyes. He is the only one of the children that has Don's beautiful blue-green eyes. The children will forever be a reminder of Don and his easy-going spirit and love. We love you too much Don.... |
