The above information was confirmed by John's nephew, David Johnson who wrote:
"If there is anyone in that graduating class who wishes to contact me, I would certainly be appreciative. While he was our favorite uncle, we never knew a lot about him or his early life. We, my sisters and I, all live in Texas. I would love to communicate with anyone who knew him."

RIP, Don!!!

Donald Matthews
Don was always an uplifting presence during our BHS years. RIP, Don, you absolutely will be missed.

Carole Wells
CERALBUS says he was "staff artist." Wonder which, or if all, the art work in the '62 CERALBUS is his. If my memory is correct, I knew Don from Mrs. Utzman's Spanish class. An interesting life! RIP.

Bob Brinkworth
Don had an extraordinary gift for caricatures. I always thought he would be great at political cartoons, his talent was so immense. Along with a great sense of humor and artistic talent I don't know why the local animation studios weren't lined up to offer him lucrative employment opportunities.

Pam Kirkwood
God Bless Don. He was a friend of my Jon's. Very talented fellow and a really exceptionally NICE guy!

Vicki Herrin Fields

I knew Don or as we called him Donnie since I was a kid I grew up across the street from his mom and brother Gary, Don was incredibly talented and a great artist, he often put on little shows in the backyard where he would show 16 millimeter movie pictures, he would build a box office that he made out of cardboard painted it like a box offic, and sold candy, popcorn. charge of everybody a nickel to come in it was a lot of fun. I also remember when he made his first cartoon called tge lemon sisters... he was very talented. I also remember when he bought his first car was a 57 Chevy it was the Envy of every kid on the Block!
Rip Donnie.....
