"Never Stop Dreaming!"
In Loving Memory Of Donald D. Lapre
May 19, 1964 - October 2, 2011
October 3rd, 2011
Lapre, Donald
47, passed on October 2, 2011. Don was born in Providence, Rhode Island, on May 19, 1964, and moved to Phoenix, Arizona, with his family at 7 years old. He attended Sunnyslope High School and worked as a manager at Gemco at 18 years of age. He met and married his wife of 23 years, Sally Redondo, and they had two beautiful children together. Don's kids were his pride and joy. He was the best father anyone could ever ask for. Don was a born entrepreneur and was self-employed starting as a painter at 19 years old and from there went on to produce and be a part of many infomercials. He was nicknamed 'King of Infomercials'. Don loved the ocean but his greatest love was doing for others. He was the most generous man in the world. To know Don was to love him. We will forever miss his warm smile and loving heart. We wil l also miss his greeting of 'Wazz up!!!'
He is survived by his wife Sally, son 'Bear' Lapre, daughter Tori Lapre, two brothers Mike and Brian Lapre, sisters Debbie Rozzell and Michelle Milburn and parents Wilfred and Shirley Lapre. Funeral services will be on Monday, October 10, 2011 at 11:00 am at Bethany Community Church, 6240 S. Price Rd., Tempe, AZ. Burial will be at Green Acres Cemetery, 401 N. Hayden Rd., Scottsdale, AZ following the funeral services.

Sadly, we learned of Don's passing yesterday morning and wish to offer our condolences to the entire Lapre family as well as all of his friends and acquaintances. We deeply regret the loss of such a great father, son, brother, uncle, husband and most of all, friend. Don was an extremely unique, generous, caring and kind individual who will be forever missed.
May you rest in peace Don. You will never be forgotten!

A word to the viewers of this website:
I just wanted to let everyone know that I created this site as a "Fan Site" when Don was taken into custody. It was just intended to be a place for people to leave their positive thoughts and prayers for Don and his family. Surprisingly, I noticed that about 99.9% of all the comments that were submitted, were in fact positive. I left out the very few that were not. I was also very surprised at the large amount of family, friends, former employees, business associates and even strangers who wrote and submitted all of these wonderful stories about how Don has touched their lives in one or more ways, forever changing them. I also wanted to make it clear that I am in no way affiliated with the Lapre family and have never met them. I apologize if I may have misled anyone into believing that I might be a part of, or even a close friend of Don and/or the Lapre family. I was however, one of Don's early customers and have learned a great deal from him as a repeat customer throughout the years. I was and still am, just a big fan. In about the next year or so, I will eventually archive a copy of this site and bring it down to just a single landing page with my contact info, in case anyone would like me to send them copies of any part of it. In the meantime, please feel free to copy any content such as comments, videos, etc. The videos used on this site can be found on the following Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/FreeDonLapre#p/u.
You can then use a site similar to the one that I like to use (http://keepvid.com/) to copy any Youtube videos directly to your computer, absolutely FREE! "But wait, there's more": If you have any questions about how to copy anything from this site, please feel free to send them to me using the "Contact Us" page.
I really appreciate all of the great stories and comments that have been submitted by so many wonderful people. God bless you all!
Don had a GREAT sense of humor!
