Donald J. Fletchall

Donald J. Fletchall 59, passed away at KU Medical Center Tuesday, January 25,2022, surrounded by his family. He passed due to injuries he sustained in a house fire January 2nd. Donald was often referred to by the nicknames Donnie/DJ/ and his favorite - Fletch. He was born November 2, 1962, in Topeka, Kansas. He was preceded in death by his parents, Donald L. Fletchall and Theresa M. Stadler Fletchall. Don was a twin, and he enjoyed the fact that he was a minute older. He is survived by his twin sister, Diane (Russ) Hodge; brother, Greg (Maria) Fletchall; and sister Laurie Fletchall. He is also survived by three nephews, Shaun (Mallory) with their three children Nicholas, Hailey and Elizabeth Hodge, Matthew Hodge (fiancé Bailey) and Jacob (Nichole) Hodge and many relatives. Don graduated from Saint Joseph High School in Shawnee, Kansas in 1981. Don spent most of his life in the Topeka area. He worked for Frito Lay until he went into the roofing business. Don worked for Weathercraft Roofing for many years and his fondest memory was working his way up to be superintendent of the Topeka branch during which time, he was the only foreman to get two perfect roof scores from Firestone. Don later worked with his younger brother Greg at Fletchall Roofing. He was very proud of what they accomplished together. Don loved music. He couldn’t play but he had a real passion for listening to his brother and friend’s jam sessions and singing off key. (His words not ours!). Some of his fondest memories were of them attending the yearly Winfield, Kansas music fest. Don also loved sports, he was especially fanatic about his Kansas City Chiefs, Royals, and KU Jayhawks basketball. He would often talk of the many games watched over at the “man cave” every Sunday. Don also loved to travel. His favorite place was the Grand Canyon. Don will be remembered for being a straight shooter (he would tell it like it is), and for his loving and giving nature. He was very much a free spirit who never knew a stranger and would help anyone in need. Don loved sitting on his front porch and talking with the neighbors, and spending time with the family. Uncle DJ loved to come visit his nephews, great nieces and great nephew. Don (Fletch) will be missed by all who knew him. Visitation will be 9 a.m. Friday, February 11, 2022, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 312 NE Freeman Street, Topeka KS 66616, where Mass of Resurrection will be celebrated at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Sacred Heart-St. Joseph Parish, and sent in care of Kevin Brennan Family Funeral Home, 2801 SW Urish Rd, Topeka KS 66614, or to the family to help cover the cost of funeral expenses.
