Don was born on September 30th, 1957 in Caldwell, Idaho to Linvel and Geral Moffis, and the older brother to Dan Moffis. Don was raised in the Kuna area of Idaho where he graduated high school in 1976. During his high school years, he was deeply passionate about wrestling and also played football. He spent most of his time outside of class, playing sports, and working on his ford pickup truck. After graduation, he stayed around Kuna working concrete construction for a housing developer for several years.

In 1982 he had his first son Jeremiah. It was also the year him and Dan loaded up their dodge 4x4 with nothing but concrete tools and bags of beef jerky and made the trip from Idaho up to Anchorage, Alaska to continue working for the same development contractor on new projects he had up north. Don and Dan decided to stay in Alaska and a few short years later Don found his way down to Kenai, Alaska. There he worked for Doyle's Construction, for the father of his now wife, Joann Doyle. After a few short years, they married and began to grow their family. By 1996, they had 4 more children; Melissa, Shane, Matthew, and Nicole.

In 1997 Don and JoAnn started their own business, JD Contractors Inc., where he mastered in concrete construction. He continued with his passion of wrestling by coaching the Kenai Kavemen wrestling team where he coached his son Jeremiah and bonus son, Ron Winger. Don led them to multiple championships, for many years.

With the help of his father Shug (Linvel), sons Jeremiah, and Ron; he grew JD contractors into a highly reputable construction company throughout Alaska. Don looked forward to the winter months each year taking his family down to Hawaii. There, they vacationed while also working construction alongside his brother, Dan. Two peas in a pod.

He loved the outdoors, hunting, traveling with his family, and helping those in need; especially the less fortunate. But above all, his greatest pride was the life he was able to give his family. The endless hours, hard work, and sacrifices he made every day to provide a better life, never went unnoticed. He grew to have a tremendous relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, was selfless to no end, and always put everyone he loved before him and his own life.

He is survived by his wife, JoAnn, sons Jeremiah, Shane, Matthew and Ron, daughters Melissa and Nicole, brother Dan, mother Geral (Uehlin) Moffis, step-mother Laurel Pickering, father Linvel Moffis, nephew's Dallas and Austin, and his 7 grandchildren, Sierra, Marissa, Justin, Emma, Tessa, Mia, and Kingston.
