Donald Eugene Dowe Sr. of Harmony, MN passed away on November 30, 2014 at his home surrounded by his loving family.\u00a0 Don\u2019s body was donated per his request, to the Mayo Clinic to assist with research and education. Don always felt that organ donation was extremely important since he had been given the gift of life 21 years ago due to a kidney transplant. Due to his transplant, he could not be a donor to help other lives so he wanted to do his part through research and education. There will be a \u201cCelebration of Life\u201d at a later date next summer for everyone who was touched by Don in their lives.<\/p>\n

Don was born in McHenry, IL on Sept. 19, 1934 to Herman and Pauline Dowe.\u00a0 He graduated McHenry High School and spent four years in the United States Air Force as a dental technician.\u00a0 After his service to his country, Don married Betty Lou Keenan from Pompano Beach, FL on Sept. 13, 1958. Don attended Illinois Wesleyan-Bloomington where he received his Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology.\u00a0 He continued his education at the University of Illinois, where he received his Master of Social Work degree.<\/p>\n
