Donald William Wagner's Obituary
Donald William Wagner was born in Colton, Oregon on January 13, 1942 and passed peacefully on March 7, 2026, at the age of 84 in Molalla, Oregon.
Donald has seven siblings and worked as a logger in his early life in both Oregon and Alaska. After suffering permanent injury in a logging accident, Donnie drove truck and worked as a mechanic at Molalla Sand & Gravel, cut firewood, performed fire watch in the woods, and even worked converting buses into motorhomes. Donnie enjoyed working on cars and was especially fond of muscle cars. Donnie was a quiet man with strong defenses covering a very sweet heart and was ready to lend a hand to those who needed him.
Donnie is preceded in death by his parents, Clair and Verna Wagner, his siblings John Collinson, Patricia Pullen, Lorna Naylor, and Larry Wagner. He is survived by his sisters Nona Diamond, Mary Nelson, Nancy Brown, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A graveside memorial service will be held at Adam's Cemetery on Friday, March 20, @ 1:00 PM followed by fellowship at Molalla Christian Church. Family and friends are welcome.
