Donald "Don" Harold Aldridge

Donald "Don" Harold Aldridge, 73, of Owensboro, went to be with his Lord and savior, Saturday, December 5, 2020 at his home while under the care of his loving family and Hospice of Western Kentucky. He was born September 2, 1947, in Fulton, KY, to the late Harold George and Vivian Jewell Aldridge Brooks. Don was able to make a 42-year career out of doing what he loved most, talking to people and selling cars. He was the owner and operator of Under $8000 Auto Sales for the last 17 years of his career-a highly decorated career at that, amassing several sales and management awards along the way.

More importantly, Don loved his family, friends, and community. He served as a Kentucky Colonel, a board member of Backpack Mission Ministries in eastern KY for 3 years and delivered food to those in need for 5 years. Don was always willing to lend a helping hand for those in need, stranger, or friend.

Along with his parents, he was also preceded in death by his stepmother, Evelyn Moody, and his stepfather, Wilson Brooks.

Don is survived by his wife of 56 years, Peggy Kinser Aldridge; three children, Terri (Danny) Clouse, Jerry Don (Debbie) Aldridge, Shannon Lea (Eddie) Schweers; 6 grandchildren, Justin and Jansen Aldridge, Tayler Bibb, Zach Grable, and Hayley and Seth Schweers; 5 great-grandchildren, Levi, Lucy, Elizabeth, Annabeth, and Brooks; a sister, Pat (Carl) Page; 2 brothers, David (Donna) Brooks and Ricky (Bridgette) Brooks.
