Don Comer Obituary

Don Francis Comer

Don Francis Comer, 44, affectionately known by family and friends as Donnie, passed away Monday, January 13, 2025, at Kobacker Hospice Facility in Columbus, surrounded by family and close friends.

Donnie was born January 5, 1981, in Tiffin to Diane Reino Brown and Francis L.

Donnie is survived by his life partner of 20 years, Nathaniel Woods of Columbus; parents, Diane and (Mark) Brown of Tiffin and Francis (Kaye) Comer of Bucyrus; brothers, Tim (Miranda) Comer of Augusta, Maine and Jeff (Tara Ayotti) Comer of Manchester, Maine; sister, Sharon (Jeff Young) Marcus of Olympia, Washington; a loving aunt; three uncles; several cousins; and a large group of friends, including special friend, Vickie Neil.

Donnie grew up in Tiffin, graduated from Hopewell-Loudon High School in 2000. Soon after graduation he left Tiffin. After a summer at Cedar Point, Donnie lived for a short time in Toledo, but put his roots down in Columbus, where he worked at Automotive Warehousing in the Columbus/Dayton area.

Those who knew Donnie described him as fun loving and goofy. He loved to laugh and have a good time. His love was extended to include his cat, Luna. Donnie had a softness about him, along with a heart of gold. He will be missed by many.
