Sherwood, AR Tuesday, January 16, 2018 The loss of this loving man will be carried in the hearts of all that knew, loved and worked with him. I unfortunately only knew Don Pace for a short time but have know his daughter Crystal for many years now. The light in her eyes when she speaks of her daddy fills the room with love, admiration and joy. The townspeople in Monticello wether it be at the hospital, Restaurants or stores... all know Don Pace and spoke very highly of him being the strongest man they know and could defy all odds!I pray for comfort & healing to Crystal and all of the Pace family during this difficult time the loss great man.
