Kuszmaul

Donald E. Kuszmaul, 62 of Great Falls, died on October 6, 2014.

A memorial service was held at Victory Church on Thursday, October 9, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. Schnider Funeral Home handled arrangements.

Donald Eugene Kuszmaul-AKA "Don" or "Kuzie", from the day he was born on August 24, 1952, he struggled to breathe. On that day his mother and father made a promise to God that if His will and Don's will was to live on earth they would raise him to know Jesus, and they fulfilled it.

Don was surrounded by family his whole life. His father Eugene (72) (until January 12, 1995) mother Frances (87) (until July 2, 2013), sisters Sheron (Bob) Smoyer, Beth (Joe) Davidson, and all his aunts, uncles and cousins (which a lot have already paved the path).

He married Shaune (Ereaux) Kuszmaul on May 22, 1976.

Kuzie attended schools in Fort Peck and Glasgow (where he was born). He worked construction most of his life. Steel buildings, janitorial business, worked on the North Slope for 13 plus years.

He believed in taking care of his responsibilities in family and work. Keeping mom home to raise His children, was very important. It took a while to adjust from two sisters to four and zero brothers to seven, and even longer to get the Ereaux language, we are happy to say he got it.

Survivors include his wife, Shaune Kuszmaul; his sons, Erin Eugene (Stephanie), grandchildren Jaysun, Rebecka, Daniel, and stepson Eric (four) , son, Kelly Allen (Karin), grand boys, Thaddeus and Kanaan( two), son, Donald Joe/DJ (Stacy), granddaughters, Gracie, Addison and Olivia (3); daughter Alicyn Marie (Phillip) Kuszmaul, grandchildren Martin Eugene(deceased May 24, 2001), Elizabeth, Taylor, and Kaley(4). The young grandchildren, (a baker's dozen) will be told many stories of their grandpa, don't forget the time when ...

God may not have always been first, the world has a way of getting too involved, but he always believed what comes around goes around and God would take care of it no matter what.

Ask his family about NASCAR, and the many races that they attended. The Broncos, Seahawks and Peyton Manning all coming together in one game, what an orchestra God conducts.

He fought coming in this world, he fought to stay and now he lives forever as God's will and his will simultaneously have met once again, like the beginning there will be no end. His earthly death at age 62 (Monday, October 6th, 2014) is now life in His eternal mansion fighting for you.

Don/dad, your sense of humor, your amazing ability to make the most of things, and common sense (which is not so common anymore) will all greatly be cherished.

The love of God, family and friends are with you and you with us. May your continued peace follow us, guide us and bless us with His amazing grace. We have over forty years of memories and such little space to say it, so please forgive us, and thank you God for our precious gift, Don. Once again remember God takes care of whatever, no matter what, He is the perfect plan.

As hard as it is humanly, the gift of spirit is our gift back to God. At his request celebrate his life and laugh, he's watching you and Jesus is too! He graduated to warrior and is protecting us with eagle's wings.

I love you all,

Don
