Donald E. Loudner I

Another great South Dakota Guardsman gone. Dad thought so much of Don and the work he did for the Guard in his leadership in the state and at the Pentagon. And how I enjoyed running into Don around Mitchell.

A life well lived, a duty bravely done. Washington DC is never going to be the same without you. Uncle Don was truly a legend and will always be loved and missed. Godspeed.

Spending my youth in Mitchell has provided memories of many who left an impression. I recall Don as a spirited citizen, devoted warrior in the Guard, and he was a serious lobbyist in Pierre. Good Guy. Good Citizen. RIP.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Don, over the years I always
Enjoyed our visits about sports, life in general.My first meeting
Was Seeing Don play basketball for Ft. Thompson H.S.
He was great player, and true sportsman, a true gentlemen
Throughout his life.proud of his heritage.prayers are with his
Family.

Miss ya, Donnie. RIP

We were neighbors for many years on 12th Street. Great family man. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family.

So sorry for your loss! Don was great guy and had a great sense of humor!

I Think he was a wonderfull man !May he rest in peace ! I called him Chief Runnng BS !

Love you Uncle Donnie, give momma a big hug and kiss for me.

I first met Don when I got into the NG in 1966. One of the nicest men I ever met. In later years I would see him at DWU bbl games at the palace and always had time to reminisce. RIP CHIEF.

Donita and family , so sorry for your loss. I am sure he will be missed.

Don was one of those people you thought would be here forever. He did so much for so many. He also had a wicked sense of humor which I shall miss. Mat your travels be peaceful. Deepest sympathy to his children and grand children and great grandchildren.

Please accept our deepest condolences. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

So sad for this very sad loss of a great person ! Don always did everything he for everyone he could!! He is going to be missed by everyone that was blessed to know him !! Sending Big Hugs and Prayers to all of you!!!

To Don’s family, we are so saddened to hear of the passing of Don. He was a very kind smart interesting man, we always enjoyed our visits with him, may God comfort you in the difficult days ahead.

Don and I were the best of friends for over 20 years. Together we worked hard to get a national charter for NAIV. Rest in peace Don! I have the watch now!

I will always remember and appreciate Don’s leadership as he worked to get our church involved in cemetery restoration. His work and that of so many other elders has led to a near twenty-year relationship between Trinity Presbyterian Church and the people on the Crow Creek Reservation. A great bonus of our relationship has been becoming friends with so many of his family. May they all know the Creator God’s comfort and protection.

Rest In Peace Mr. Loudner. You exemplified the meaning of the words "True Friend."

To the Loudner family and friends. I'm thinking very fond memories of all of you when you lived on West 12th in Mitchell. We lived on West 11th. Those were great times in the neighborhood. My Deepest condolences to everyone. Don was a very great and honorable man. Always said hi when he saw me and had stories to share. Lots of fun also growing up at St.Marys Episcopal church. Love and God's comfort to all of you

We are saddened by the loss of our good friend Don. He knew me my entire life - he was like an uncle to me. Don and my dad Leonard were in the National Guard together in Mitchell and became good friends. My parents thought very highly of Don and Joyce. Donita and Rose taught me how to ride their bicycle in their yard. We always enjoyed seeing Don and listening to his many interesting stores and remembrances of growing up in South Dakota and his service to our country. Our sincere condolences to his entire family.
