In 2003 he returned to Enid to be near family and continued his work in security working for private security companies. He then moved to Woodward working in oil field security and also owned and operated three comic book and anime collectible stores, Beetle comics, The Outer Limits comics and later Laughing Dragon Comics. He then returned to Enid and began his career working for Brown-Cummings Funeral Home where he worked as a family service and funeral attendant for many years. Don had a kind heart and was always willing to help others.  He continued to be an avid comic books collector and had an impressive figurine collection. He was also a movie aficionado. He was a lifelong learner graduating from NOC Enid with a degree in Criminal Justice in 2019. He was maybe before all else an animal and loved his dogs as family.
