Donald Ray Ford: A Life of Work and Family | Amarillo News

Donald Ray Ford, who passed away at 74 in September 2026, lived a life shaped by movement and resilience—from Santa Barbara to Amarillo, where he found work as a psychiatric technician, later at the Amarillo Globe-News, and finally stocking shelves at Walmart until retirement. Married to Janis Haberman since 2005, he grieved her loss shortly after relocating to be near family. Predeceased by his parents, two brothers, and wife, he’s survived by sisters Mary Miller and Donna Clark, along with nieces, nephews, and great-nieces who’ll carry his memory forward.
