Donald P. Penrod
September 14, 1944 — May 14, 2022
Donald "Don" Penrod died unexpectedly at his home on Saturday, May 14 at the age of 77.
Don was born on September 14, 1944 in Brush Valley just outside Johnstown, PA. He attended Otterbein University in Westerville, OH where he was a two-sport athlete playing baseball and wresting. After finishing at Otterbein, Don began a 50-year career in the flooring industry. He is remembered as an accomplished businessman who loved to work and solve problems.
Don is survived by Jody, his loving wife of 37 years, his children Jill (Ted) Lococo of Montgomery, TX, Andrew (Jennifer) Penrod of Charlotte, NC, and Alex (Jeff Demsky) Penrod of Columbus, OH, his beloved grandchildren Nick Lococo, Ceci Lococo, Chase Blackwelder, Noah Blackwelder, Luke Penrod, Eli Penrod, Emma Penrod, Aiden Penrod, his wonderful sister Bonnie (Bill) Plowman, and many other amazing friends and family members.
Don was an incredible athlete and continued playing on multiple softball teams up until his death. He also umpired and participated in Baseball Fantasy Camps. Anyone who knew him remembers his colorful stories and larger-than-life personality. He completed crossword puzzles in pen almost every day of his adult life. An avid sports fan, he was a lifelong Pittsburgh Steelers, LA Dodgers, and Ohio State enthusiast. More than anything, he loved spending time with his family and friends who meant everything to him.
A Celebration of Life will be scheduled at a later date in place of a funeral.

The family would like to thank everyone who has sent love, prayers, and support.
