Don Roberts Call

April 15, 1932 — July 30, 2021

Mr. Don R. Call of Taylor Arizona, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2021.  He was born in Burley, Idaho on April 15, 1932 to J. Russell and LaVern B. Call.  He was 16 years old when the family moved to Mesa, Arizona.

Don served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints  in Brazil where he learned to speak Portuguese.  After his mission he married Laree Crockett in April 1956 in the Mesa, Arizona temple.

Don was in the family dairy business but left and moved to Taylor, Arizona where he started raising beaver for furs.  Soon he left the beaver business and went to work for Southwest Forest Industries where he spent the rest of his career as an operator in the coal-fired power generating station.

Don was a hard working man who loved to build and "tinker".  He was always figuring a way to "make it work".  Don also loved drafting and was offered a college scholarship in architecture, but elected to start a family and work on the family farm.  Through the years Don built several homes to "quench" his desire to draft and build.  Don loved music and was very musically inclined.  He could play almost any instrument by ear, but his greatest love was for his family and the Lord.

Don is survived by his wife, Laree; his eight children, Russell (Kimberly), Dale (Marty), Elaine (Jim), Laurie (Stuart), Brad (Suzanne), Deanne (Brian), Brian, and Andrea (Shaun);  his sisters, Joy Tanner and Ranae Crockett; 48 grandchildren, 51 great-grandchildren and 1 great great-grandchild.

Centennial Boulevard, in Taylor, Arizona. The funeral service will immediately follow the viewing and begin PROMPTLY at 11:00 A.M. The concluding service and interment will be at the Reed Hatch Memorial Cemetery in Taylor, Arizona.
