Donald David Roesner

Donald D. Roesner, age 85, of Hopkins, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on November 20, 2024, surrounded by his family. Born with a kind and generous spirit, Don lived a life of devotion and service. A hardworking professional, he dedicated 35 years to Northwestern Bell before retiring, leaving behind a legacy of commitment and excellence. Don also proudly served his country in the Army National Guard for six years, embodying the values of duty and honor. Don's life was centered on his deep love for his family and friends. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, he shared 63 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Carol. His family was the light of his life, and his joy in their company was evident to all who knew him. He took immense pride in his children, Angie, Mark (Lisa), and Mike (Sarah); and found boundless delight in his grandchildren, Rachel (Michael), Elle (Mitch), Anna, Carol, Liz, and Zach; and his great-grandchildren, Lily, Hudson, and Marie. Always ready with a helping hand and a warm smile, Don was a steadfast friend and neighbor. He brought people together with his caring nature and his unwavering willingness to serve others. His presence will be deeply missed, but his enduring spirit will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate to know him. Don is preceded in death by his parents and two brothers Gary and David. He is survived by his wife, Carol; his two brothers, Larry and Ron; his sister, Karon; and many other relatives and dear friends. A memorial service to celebrate Don's life will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, at Gethsemane Lutheran Church, 715 Minnetonka Mills Rd., Hopkins, MN. Visitation will begin one hour prior to the service, with lunch to follow. For those unable to attend, the service will be live streamed at: https://www.youtube.com/live/NIS9GCEbkHw?si=2yNczurs-YS-0uNp The family requests memorials be directed to Gethsemane Lutheran Church, the American Cancer Society, or the donor's favorite charity, in honor of Don's generous spirit. Don's life was a testament to faith, love and kindness. Though he is no longer with us, his memory will continue to inspire and uplift all who had the privilege of knowing him.
