Donnie Critton

Donald Keith Critton was born on July 27, 1955 in San Diego, CA. He is survived by his three children Amy (Jamie) Thacker, Natalie (Conner) Dial, Jason (Dawn Marie) Critton and his five grandchildren, Baeli, Aryona, Madysen, Charleze and Macklon. Donnie spent a lot of years driving truck and rough necking in the oilfield. He loved Peterbilt trucks, Harley Davidson motorcycles and Gibson guitars. He drove, rode and played all three pretty well. But perhaps his greatest love was watching his grandkids play. He would get down and play with them at their level, which they loved. He was a gentle soul and generosity was a trait that Donnie embodied throughout his life. He would happily give you "the shirt off his back." While he didn't have much to his name, Donnie would offer what he had to those he loved. He spent his last years taking selfless care of his parents. While he was a man of few words, Donnie was known for his free spirit. We will always remember him in his black Stetson hat, pearl snap shirts and Tony Lama boots. He will be missed, but those that loved him find peace knowing that he knew Jesus Christ as his Lord and will spend eternity with Him.
