Please make every effort to

We lament the sudden passing of Don Boles last Monday. He and Carolyn

have been members of the North "A" congregation for about 35 years, and

Don shepherded this flock of God's people from February, 1991, until

September, 1996, and from November, 1998, until December, 2015. Back in

1995, Don was the third elder from the congregation to visit on a Sunday in Robert

Lee, where I was preaching at the time, and I was impressed with his Christlike

character from the very start. In time I learned that Don had played basketball in

college, had been a school teacher and a coach, and was a trusted, long-time

employee of Midland investor, Jack Wilkinson (the owner of the Wilco Building that

graces our city's skyline). More importantly, I came to appreciate Don's deep love

for Carolyn and their family, his sincere kindness, especially to the poor, and his

readiness to give of himself and his possessions for the good of any and all others.

It is his kindness that I likely will miss most. My hope is that at least some of Don's

kindness will linger in my own Christian character and my own Christian walk.
