  Bio: The memorial service for Donald Dean Vikse will be held at 11AM Saturday November 1, 2014 at the River Park Chapel, Macken Funeral Home in Rochester, with Pastor Anjanette Bandel officiating. Burial will be at Grandview Memorial Gardens. The visitation will be one hour prior to the service Saturday. Don was 77 when he passed away at his home from pancreatic cancer that was discovered three months earlier. He was surrounded by his family who loved him very much, will miss him every day and are heartbroken he has passed. Don was born July 30, 1937 in Fillmore county to Edmund and Edna (Kappers) Vikse. He graduated from LeRoy High School in 1955. Don entered the Army in 1960 and was stationed in Yuma, Arizona as a cook for two years. Don Married Charotte Ann Flikke on February 1, 1963 and they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year. They made an inseparable team. Don worked on his father's and neighbor's farms, for Kappers Construction, Crenlo, the 7-Up Corporation and retired from the Rochester Public Library after 27 years. Survivors include his daughters and their husbands and their children, two brothers, many aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Vivian and brother Marvin. Don loved to tinker with motors and repair anything mechanical. He could see the possibilities in creating something new or repurposing things others thought useless. He was wired to make things better, and that's just what he did everywhere he went. He loved to trim trees and shrubs and find hidden treasures at garage sales because he had the knack to see the potential in things. What mattered most to Don were people and relationships. He treated everyone with honesty, respect, tolerance, and patience. Don was a loving husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and friend. His gentle blue eyes, warm smile, caring disposition and generous nature will be missed by so many. Everyone who met him found they immediately liked him and Don left a lasting impression. Don's family would like to thank his doctors and nurses at the Mayo Clinic and Mayo Hospice who gave Don wonderful care. Memorial suggestions include the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Disease Research Center and Mayo Hospice.
