Don Schmidt, 53, of Bixby, OK, peacefully passed away in his home on October 6th, 2023. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on May 21st, 1970 to David and Imogean Schmidt, Don was a quiet and deep-thinking child. After graduating in 1988 from Daniel Webster High School, Don joined the U.S. Navy as an electrician. Once he completed his 6 years of service, Don came home to Tulsa and in 2000 met Callie, who had two children, Kyra and Sean. After a whirlwind romance they got married February 23rd, 2001. He went on to adopt Kyra and Sean as his own and had two more children, Hailey and Dillon.

Don put family first, always, and was a dedicated father. He built, from the ground up, a beautiful home in Nixa, Mo, where he raised his family until their move to Frisco, TX. There he dedicated his free time to coaching Sean’s, Hailey’s, and Dillon's baseball and softball teams, taking great pride in sharing his love of the sport with his children. In 2017 Don moved his family back to his home state where they settled in Bixby, OK. Don was also a passionate auto enthusiast. He enjoyed spending time with his youngest, Dillon, rebuilding the car of his youth, a 1972 Pontiac.

Don was a strong, loving, and supportive father who considered his family his greatest accomplishment. His knowledge and guidance were the foundation of his family. Don was predeceased by his father David Schmidt as well as many beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins. Don leaves behind his wife, Callie Schmidt; his children, Kyra, Sean, Hailey, and Dillion; his grandchild, Sean’s son, Remington; his mother, Imogean; and his sister Colleen Clinton as well as her family, husband Tom and their children Daniel and Derek. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
