Donald W. Troxel, 90, of Quakertown, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, March 20, 2025.
Born on August 3, 1934, in Quakertown, he was a son of the late Eugene T. and Clara (Wentz) Troxel.
Following high school, he was drafted into the United States Army, serving almost two years in Germany, before receiving his Honorable Discharge. He was the recipient of the Good Conduct Medal and was also designated an expert rifleman.
Upon returning stateside, Donald held various jobs, which included driving truck and working as a Maintenance Technician for the former Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources. He also ran his family beef farm for many years.
Outside of work, he found joy in hunting, fishing, and gardening. He was always happiest, though, when he was on his riding lawnmower.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brother: Richard Troxel; and sister: Mary Good.
Donald will be lovingly remembered by his wife of sixty-four years: Verna (Hottle) Troxel; son: Scott Troxel and his partner Cathy Meyer; grand-dog: Boomer; as well as nieces and nephews.
A graveside service, for all family and friends, will be held on Friday, March 28, 2025, at 1:00pm in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, 2170 PA-212, Coopersburg, PA 18036.
Arrangements are in the care of the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., Quakertown.
