Donald Walter Kroeber
		Guestbook Richard Evans 2/14/2018 5:26:56 AM The residents and staff of Lanier Village Estates express heartfelt condolences to Jamie Kroeber and her family in their bereavement. At Lanier Village, we share the family's grief, because Don was a part of our LVE family. We will miss him. He was a sweet, dear, kindhearted, and gracious man. Don carried the love of Jesus Christ in his heart, and he expressed that love to everyone around him. He blessed us all with his caring spirit and goodness. I am grateful for Don's faith and his hope of eternal salvation, which assures his believing family that Don is in heaven, safe in the arms of Jesus. Judy Gettys 2/15/2018 8:47:26 PM Jamie - I'm writing this through tears. I'm heartbroken for you and your sweet boys. I'll always remember his graciousness when Jimmy and I visited. And then on my trip to Alabama, he was his ole sweet self. He was always so vivacious it never occurred to me that he wouldn't live forever. I wish I was more religious but know that my thoughts are with you. Love to all, Judy Frank Holsclaw 2/18/2018 9:50:05 PM My wife and I were heartbroken to learn of Don’s passing. We feel like we have lost a close friend. It was a real joy to be his pastor at Pawleys Island Presbyterian and to work with such a fine man and committed Christian. I know right now he is hearing from his Lord, “Well done, thoul good and faithful servant.” God be with you Jamie and family. Frank and Gail

His tours of duty included Germany (twice); the former Republic of Vietnam; Korea; Fort Sill, Oklahoma (three times); and Fort Leavenworth, Kansas (twice).

His military decorations include the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Meritorious Service Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Air Medal, the Army Commendation Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Vietnamese Honor Medal First Class, and various campaign ribbons.
