Donald W. “Don” Nash, age 92, of Toledo, passed away Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at Kingston Care Center, Sylvania with loving family by his side. He was born on July 1, 1930 to Perry and Elizabeth (Schwandt) Nash in Parma, MI. Don was a veteran of the U.S. Army serving in the Korean War. He was a graduate of Central Michigan University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. He also played baseball and was an all-state honors pitcher while attending Central Michigan University where he was lucky enough to play with some of the greats, Dick Enberg, and Tom Tresh. After graduating college he began his career at A&P Grocery Store in Albion, MI and then relocated to Toledo, OH in the late 50’s. He retired in HR from Macy’s after over 20 years. After retirement, he managed In & Out Mart at Alexis and Talmadge for 19 years, then officially retired.

Don was a collector of all things, especially record albums and baseball memorabilia. He was an avid fan of the Detroit Tigers. Don enjoyed listening to music, mostly country and Elvis. He and his wife, Delores even made a few trips to Graceland. Don was an avid pool player, even playing 35 games on one holiday! He was known to “stretch the rules” a bit but everyone loved it. Don loved nothing more than spending time with his family, especially all of his grandchildren. Don’s smile, spirit and caring nature will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Delores Nash; brothers, Raymond and Robert Nash; sister, Sandy Blackburn. Left to cherish his memory are his loving children, Melody (Marty) Zanotti, Tracey (Terry) Wilson, Donald “Hotdog” (Lori) Nash, Cindy (Joe Keller, Jr.) Millward and John (Ruth) Nash; 17 grandchildren; 9 great-grandchildren; many nieces, nephews and dear friends.

Visitation and Services for Don will be private. Newcomer Funeral Home – Northwest Chapel, Toledo (419-473-0300) assisted the family with professional services.
