Don was born on August 10, 1940 to Ruben and Wynetta "Nettie" (Tiede) Weisser in their farmhouse in Scotland, South Dakota. He was the oldest of two children. Don lived on the family farm in Parkston, South Dakota his entire childhood and graduated from Parkston High School in 1958. After graduating, he then attended Nettleton Business College in Sioux Falls. Other than a short time spent residing in Sioux City, Iowa, Don lived in Parkston and Sioux Falls the entirety of his life.

In the late 1950's, Don met Dee Heier at the Barrel Drive-In in Sioux Falls. The couple married on February 5, 1960 and had their first child, Jody, in July of 1960, followed by their son, Kevin, a year later, and their third child, Kyle, in 1970.

Don had the gift of the gab which brought him success in his career as a retail salesman for NCR corporation. He worked there for 30 years before retiring in 2000. Don was a long-time member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church and was also a member of the Elks Club throughout the 70's and 80's. He loved to fish and hunt, but also especially loved to golf after his retirement. Don would golf 18 holes 3 times a week until he turned 78. Don had a booming laugh so unique to him that you instantly knew if he was joking around, and he certainly always had a joke or two to share.
