Donald Edward Spears, 68, of Silsbee passed away on February 1, 2021 in Beaumont, Texas.  He was born on October 15, 1952 in Silsbee, Texas to his parents, Boyce Spears and Vera Ferguson-Spears.

Donald was a true man of faith and will be remembered for his pursuant devotion to his Lord Almighty. He was a member of Pinecrest Baptist Church for more than 40 years where he served as a Deacon. Donald was a devoted husband to the love of his life, Jan. They were married on June 2, 1972 until his passing.

We honor Donald’s sacrifice to our Nation as he faithfully served in the United States Army. He was a member of the United Steel Workers Union and served as President for many years. Though the family is deeply saddened by their loss, they find comfort in knowing he has joined his Lord and Savior in the Kingdom of Heaven.
