Donald G. Christian Donald G. Christian, from Church Hill, TN, born April 8, 1934 stepped into the beautiful shores of Heaven on November 23, 2012. He would be the first to tell you that he didn’t live a perfect life but he had accepted Jesus as his Savior. He was a loving and kind man who more times than not, put others before himself. Daddy was a veteran of the United States Army and retired from Holston Defense after more than 30 years of service. His first love was to farm his land and animals. He was a hard worker all his life until health problems kept him from it. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mack and Beulah Christian, and brother, Conley D. Christian.
