Donald L. Kimsey
December 21, 1953 – April 25, 2025
Donald L. Kimsey, 71, of Millsboro, Delaware, passed away peacefully on April 25, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.
Born on December 21, 1953, in Wilmington, Delaware, Don lived a life defined by dedication—to his family, his work, and his greatest passion: the game of baseball. He spent his career at the DuPont Edgemoor Plant, where he was respected for his hard work and reliability.
For 53 years, Don gave his heart to coaching baseball. He wasn’t just a coach—he was a mentor, a role model, and a steady presence on and off the field. His impact on youth baseball in the community will be felt for generations.
Don is survived by his beloved wife, Joyce A. Kimsey; his daughter Amanda Soares and her husband Nick; his son Sean Kimsey and his wife Laura; and his cherished grandchildren: Nolan, Nicky, Declan, Dillon, Jordan, Emily, Brinley, and Calvin. He will be remembered for his quiet strength, unwavering support for his family, and deep love of the game.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, May 1, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium 34874 Atlantic Ave, Ocean View, Delaware.
