Donald was survived by his two daughters, Mary Shifflett and her husband Travis from Charlottesville, April Lynn Thomas and her husband, Kenny from Shipman; brother, Steve Shifflett, of Ruckersville; two sisters, Linda Price and Rosa Thomason, both of Crozet; seven grandchildren, Christian Stevens from Charlottesville, Tyler James Thomas of Shipman, Alexus Biggs of Colonial Heights, Alex Lee Thomas of Shipman, Donald James Biggs of Colonial Heights, Ethan Isaiah Thomas of Shipman, Kayla Maria Thomas of Shipman; two nephews from Crozet; two nieces, one from Charlottesville, and the other from Niles, Michigan; and four great-nieces.
