Age 69, of Kittanning, PA (formerly of Lawrenceville) was surrounded by his family when he was called to Heaven on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 after a short and courageous battle with cancer.  He leaves behind his wife of 38 years, Marybeth (Cygnarowicz), his daughter Kristen (Justin) Gomes, his sons Nick, Ben (Emilie), and Jordan Klodowski, and his cherished granddaughters Emary and Brinley Gomes.  Don was the son of Dolores (George) Harlan and Donald F. Klodowski, the brother of Anthony (Lori) Klodowski and of Christopher, William (Mary Beth), and Patrick (Sarah) Harlan, and the brother-in-law of Gemma Cygnarowiz Ireland, Fred and Judy Cygnarowicz, and John and Susan Donatelli.  He also leaves behind aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins, in-laws, and friends.

Deeply loved by his family, Don was a man of Faith who loved his family more than anything and lived his life demonstrating that.  Don had an incredible and unmatched discipline and work ethic, and he always did the job "right".  He lived as an exceptional role-model for his children, always encouraging them to be their best.  A meticulous craftsman and jack-of-all-trades, Don loved caring for his home, making repairs, and caring for his many acres while listening to his favorite music.  Don loved his Pittsburgh Penguins and coaching them from his recliner.  Finally, he loved being Grampy and was a terrific father and a devoted and cherished husband.  Don retired from the USPS Office of Inspector General after a career of dedicated service.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
