Don was born on May 25, 1929, to Russell and Margaret Bacon and grew up on a farm and attended school in Northville. After graduation from high school, Don enrolled in Radio School in Minneapolis, MN.

Don married Arlis Kramer on May 27, 1951, in Redfield. Don served in the U.S. Army from 1952 to 1954, which included a tour in Korea during the Korean War. He was stationed at Kumhwa Valley, located north of the 38th parallel, and served in the KMAG Signal Section, 9th ROKA Division.

After his service in the Army, he and Arlis purchased their farm near Northville, where they raised their family and lived until they recently moved to Aberdeen. Don drove school bus for Northwestern School for many years and enjoyed all the young people who rode with him.
