About Donald Richards Cronk
Donald Richards Cronk, age 91, died peacefully on Friday, January 23, in Mesa, Arizona, surrounded by family and love.
Born on December 3, 1934, in Los Angeles, California, Don is survived by his wife of 67 years, Kaye, and his seven children and many grandchildren.
Don lived a uniquely full and meaningful life. A life that demonstrated the beauty of balance. Don was disciplined and precise, qualities that made him an exceptional pilot and adventurer, but he was also drawn to beauty in the world. Firm in what he believed yet endlessly curious about others. His life held adventure, creativity, leadership, and service, but at its core was a uniquely deep and constant love for his wife Kaye and his family.
Don loved deeply, has inspired many, and will be remembered always by all of us.
