Donald McKay Caldwell, Jr., 69, died suddenly on Saturday, July 31, 2021.
He entered the world on July 26, 1952, in Hattiesburg, Miss., and the Earth is still reeling. Ironically, he shared the name of his father who discovered his son’s temperament was much different than his own. Don attended Bay High in Bay St. Louis, Miss., where the administrative building now bears the name of his senior. His basketball talents landed him at Pearl River Junior College. He obtained his bachelor’s degree from the University of New Orleans, master’s degree from William Carey College, and +30 from McNeese State University.
