Donald H. Van Swol, 57, passed away Sunday March 15, 2026, at Froedtert Memorial Hospital. Donald was born in Racine on January 11, 1969.
Don graduated from J.I. Case High School “Class of 1987”. He proudly served in the U.S. Army for over twenty years, retiring as Sergeant.
On August 4, 2001, Don was united in marriage to his lifelong partner at Mt. Pleasant Lutheran Church. He was employed by the City of Oak Creek in the street maintenance department for twenty-eight years, before retiring in 2024. Don was a member of the Eagle’s Nest where he won several of their chili cook offs. Don loved his 1937 Farmall tractor that he parked on his front lawn for everyone to see on North Main Street. He would take his tractor to various county fairs for the tractor pulls where he consistently took last place, except for the time he won third place when there were only two other tractors competing
