=====
Donald Paul Donald Paul Bordelon, born Jan. 19, 1949, in Baton Rouge, passed away unexpectedly from cardiac arrest at home on Saturday, March 26, 2005, in Dallas.
A wonderful husband, father, brother, uncle and team leader, Don loved life and was a joy and an inspiration to us all. He had successfully battled colon cancer since August 2004. His doctors in Dallas and in Houston at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center called him their poster boy! His attitude and perseverance through chemotherapy was a role model for others.
He is survived by his "beautiful bride," Carol Calkins of Dallas; daughter, Jennifer Jean Bordelon of Austin, Texas; sons, Joseph "Paul" Bordelon of Dallas and Brian Alan Bordelon of Dallas and Norman, Okla.; brother, Ronald Paul Bordelon and his wife Meg of Dallas; in-laws, Harold and Jean Calkins of Baton Rouge; brothers-in-law, Bill and his wife Cheryl Calkins of Baton Rouge, Ron and his wife Kelly Calkins of Little Rock, Ark., Scott and his wife Debbie Calkins of Baton Rouge; sister-in-law, Karen and her husband Ken Link of Phoenix; nieces, Erin and her husband Ryan Falterman of Geismar and Jeanne and her husband Jeff Laceky of Dallas; nephew David and his wife Maureen Bordelon of Dallas; and nieces and nephews, Kyle, Steven, Zoe, Robby, Elizabeth Carol, Maia, Liam, Chase, Emileigh, Zane, Sam, Margaret, Gregory, Danielle and Jonathon.
These children were the apples of his eye! He loved driving them around on the "Beast," his boat at Cedar Creek. Don is also survived by his aunts, Lilly Wafer and Barton Reinberg; and cousins, Jimmy, Betty Jo, Butch, Gail, Jack, Janet, David, Barry, Bruce, Gailen, Susan, June, Kenneth, Wendy, Sandra, Scott, Pat, Jane, Katherine, Jenny Lynn, Mary Ann, Bobby, Katherine and Jerry. Don also is survived by the Williams family, Polly and her husband Jim Slocum, Martha and her husband Jerry Carpenter, C.W. and his wife Gay Williams, Tommy and his wife Barbara, Auntie and Carl Cunningham and Kim and Kelly.
Don graduated from Baton Rouge High School, Class of 1967, and from LSU Ourso College of Business, Class of 1971. Don and Carol met in an accounting class at LSU. Don, a veteran, served as first lieutenant in the U.S. Army Signal Corps.
Don worked in the banking industry his entire career, including Bossier Bank and Trust, Brookhollow National Bank, First National Bank of Dallas, Northpark Bank, First National Bank of Richardson, AMERSCO, both in Dallas and Providence, R.I., and most recently, Beal Bank Services Corp. Don loved this industry and loved his job at Beal Bank. Don was an avid golfer, an LSU Tiger fan who loved his Tigers, photographer, stamp collector and fisherman. Don loved his time in Providence/Jamestown, R.I., where he found his love for the water, sitting at Beavertail Lighthouse. In Texas, he was most at peace sitting on his dock at Cedar Creek Lake.
In September, Don co-chaired the TACA Family Festival, a wonderful event for children and families.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider a contribution in his honor to either the LSU Foundation, 3838 W. Lakeshore Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, with a notation for the Donald Paul Bordelon Memorial Scholarship in Finance at the LSU Ourso School of Business or the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Gastrointestinal Cancer Center, P.O. Box 4486, Houston, TX 77210-4486.
Visitation will be at Sparkman Hillcrest Funeral Home, 7405 W. Northwest Highway, Dallas. Memorial service will be at Lover's Lane United Methodist Church, 9200 Inwood Road, at Northwest Highway. Honorary pallbearers are Ron Bordelon, Bill Calkins, Ron Calkins, Scott Calkins, Ken Link, Robert Dryden and Terry White.
