A time to be born
Donald E. Triplett was born November 24, 1951 in Gary, Indiana to Buster and Ruby Triplett. He along with his two sisters, Delores and Geraldine, shared an unbreakable bond of love, friendship and admiration for one another.

A time to learn
Donald was educated in the Gary Independent School District, where he was a proud graduate of Thurman Roosevelt High School. At a young age Donald was taught the value of love and respect for his fellow man. Upon graduating from high school, Donald enlisted in the United States Armed Services, the branch of the Army. His tour of duty spanned six years as an active serviceman.

A time to plant
Mr. Triplett planted roots in the great city of Fort Worth, Texas. It was there that he met his beloved wife and friend, Leatha. After a period of courtship, the two became one in holy matrimony. Donald was the proud owner of a mobile detailing and window washing company. Thus, affectionately being called, "CARWASH" because of his great ability to keep ones car and windows sparkling clean. When "Carwash" wasnt working he could be found enjoying music listening to the great Michael Jackson or the renowned Temptations. Additionally, he could be found watching for scenic moments to capture as a photography.

A time to die
"To be absent from the body is to present with the Lord." On June 23, 2016, Donald E. Triplett stepped through the pearly gate of heaven, where he is now reunited with his loved ones that have gone on before him.

A time to mourn
Those left with fond and heartfelt memories are his loving wife, Leatha; his caring sisters, Delores Triplett-Harris (Frank) of Alabama and Geraldine Triplett of Indiana; great grand-daughter, Jayla Jones; three nieces, three nephews and a loving host of other family members and dear friends.
