Donald ‘Don’ Diamond

Donald R. “Don” Diamond, 91, of Evansville, Ind., passed away Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Solarbron.

Don was born in Evansville, Ind., on December 30, 1934, to the late William and Grace (Williams) Diamond. He graduated from Central High School and worked as a warehouse supervisor for over 40 years. Don was quite a character and was known for his quick wit and wonderful sense of humor. He always had a joke to share and could bring a smile to anyone’s face. Don enjoyed bird watching, golfing, and spending time with his family. He was truly a diamond and a legend to all who knew and loved him. Above all, Don treasured his family and the many memories they made together.

Don is survived by his children, Carol Peerman (Billy), of Mt. Vernon, Ind., John Quirk of Newburgh, Ind., Donna Flanigan (Tim) of Evansville, Ind., and Larry Quirk of Castle Rock, Co.; sister, Dolores Bryant, of St. Philip, Ind.; grandchildren, Shawn Rafiner, Sandy Brown, Michael Quirk; great-grandchildren and great great-grandchildren; and his dear friend, Rose Weidner.
