Don was born Wednesday, November 18, 1931in Maud, Oklahoma the eldest son of Oren Kenneth and Nell Lucille (Petrie) Trammell.
He served in the Wyoming National Guard, and co-owned a service station in Douglas with his father and brother for two years. While on a survey crew in New Mexico, he would meet the love of his life, Cecil Ann “Cindy” Romine and spent 64 years married until her death in 2019 in Douglas.
Working for the Wyoming Highway Department, he and his family moved from Evanston to Rock Springs and then to Cheyenne, where he began a career in the private sector as VP of Operations at Read’s Ready Mix. Returning to work for the state, he transferred to Sheridan retiring after 35 years of service to the Wyoming Highway Department.
