Donald C. Waggoner, Jr.

Donald C. Waggoner, Jr., 74, of Maumee, formerly of Perrysburg, passed away on Wednesday, March 16, 2022. He was born in Toledo to Betty (Birtcher) and Donald Waggoner, Sr. on August 28, 1947.  Donald, affectionately referred to as “Big Guy”, was raised in Maumee, before moving to Perrysburg where he spent almost 40 years of his life.  He had moved back to Maumee for the past several years.  He proudly served in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers before returning to be in the construction business.  There was never a job too big or too small for Donald; he could build it all. He also devoted a lot of his time to mentor and coach youth football, soccer, and baseball in Perrysburg in the 80s and 90s.  Donald built a cottage at Nettle Lake and it was his dream getaway.  While there, he was either fishing or watching his beloved family enjoy the outdoors.

Donald will be missed by his children, Jason (Carrie) Waggoner, Justin (Rhonda) Waggoner, Shawn (Afton) Waggoner, Christopher (Rachael) Waggoner; grandchildren, Brenden, Ethan, Roman, Jillian, Kane, Wesley, Autumn, Lincoln; brother, John (Dale) Waggoner; many nieces, nephews, close cousins, and special close relationships with Brian Neal and Ryan Waggoner.  He was preceded in death by his father, Donald C. Waggoner and mother, Betty J. Waggoner.
