Donald Dee Vigil

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Donald Dee Vigil, age 64, who left us on August 8, 2024. Donald was a dedicated son, brother, husband, father, uncle, and grandfather whose presence will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.

Born at Porter Hospital in Englewood, Colorado, on November 3, 1959, Donald was the son of Luis Vigil (deceased) and Viola Vigil. He was preceded in death by his older brother, Ronnie Vigil. Donald is survived by his loving sister, Maria (Bob) Chavez; his cherished wife, Jennifer Vigil; his devoted daughters, Rickii Lynn (Andrew) Barilla and Erin Paige (Tanner) Benbow; and his beloved grandchildren, Keaton Barilla, Turner Barilla, Roman Barilla, Beckham Benbow, and Jones Barilla. He also leaves behind ten nieces and nephews who adored him.

Donald grew up in Englewood and graduated from Sheridan High School in 1979. Don and his cousins ran the streets Englewood making lifelong memories. He attended college in Alamosa. Don and Jennifer got married on December 9, 1989, and grew their family in Littleton until 1999. Don supported his family and built a successful career in the financial services field. He began as a bank teller with his last position as a Senior Client Services Manager at EnvestNet.

He cherished his 13 years living on a small ranch in Pine Junction, Colorado. This period of his life was marked by balancing a demanding career with a busy family life. His tireless efforts to excel in his profession, while being a constant source of love and support at home, was a testament to his extraordinary work ethic and deep devotion to his family. The family spent countless hours riding their horses, shooting guns, playing horseshoes, and chopping wood to keep the fire burning. These simple yet fulfilling experiences were a showcased Donald’s commitment to family bonding.

In his later years, Don and his Jennifer moved to Highlands Ranch, a decision driven by his desire to be closer to family. This move allowed Don to embrace a new chapter in his life, filled with treasured moments with his loved ones. He delighted in golfing with Tanner and took immense pride in watching Andrew coach their grandsons in football. Observing his daughters as they raised their children brought him great joy and fulfillment. Living in

Highlands Ranch enabled Donald to spend his remaining years surrounded by family, relishing the close-knit connections and making lasting memories.

An avid sports enthusiast, Donald enjoyed playing softball, golfing, and attending Broncos games. His passion for faith was evident through his membership in the men’s group at Mission Hills.

Donald’s legacy is marked by his unwavering dedication to his family and his generous spirit. He will be remembered for his warmth, kindness, and love for life.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
