Don Daly Proud American and loving family man

It is with extreme sadness that we announce that our hero’s work is done here. On August 5, 2022, Don Daly received his call home while surrounded by family, after a short courageous battle with cancer.

Don was born on November 11th, 1945 in Phoenix, AZ, the oldest of 4 children, they moved to TX before settling down in Cortez, CO. He served proudly in the 82nd Airborne 3rd Brigade as a Mortarman. Paratroopers never die, they just slip away, Utrinque paratus.

Our hero was many things throughout his life: a bull rider, paratrooper, boxer, truck driver, businessman and entrepreneur, but his greatest passions were his faith and family. At a rodeo in 1976 he met the love of his life whom he adored, Sabra, they have spent the last 45 years happily married and enjoying a beautiful life together. If you asked Don what his greatest accomplishment was, he would have said it was his family. He was a true Renaissance man – Someone who appreciated life and exemplified kindness and generosity. Don spent most of his life thinking of others.

Don was preceded in death by his parents Denver and Florence Daly.

He is survived by his beloved wife Sabra and their two children, Harold Daly, Martha Christenson and husband Sam.
