Don E. Easley, age 64, passed away on Saturday, July 23, 2011.

Beloved husband of Phyllis Fortenberry Easley. Loving father of Ashley Easley 
Moschella and her husband Tony; Amanda Easley Miller and her husband Alex; and 
Derek Brandon Easley. Cherished grandfather, affectionately known as "Gramps", 
to Dean, Colin, Ava, and Carter Moschella; Gabriel Miller; and Darren and Jase 
Easley. Brother of Bill Easley, Ronnie Easley, Sandra Doolittle, and Cheryl 
Hendrix. He is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and cousins. Preceded 
in death by his parents, Harvey and Merle Easley.

He was a native of Vardaman, MS; a resident of Abita Springs, LA for the last 4 
years; and a former resident of the New Orleans area for 37 years. Don graduated 
from Mississippi State University in 1970, with a degree in Civil Engineering, 
and worked at Texaco, Inc. for 1 year before joining Petro-Marine Engineering, 
Inc. as a structural engineer in 1972. In 1996, after Don and several partners 
purchased Petro-Marine from its founders, he became President and Chairman of 
the Board, until his retirement in 2003. He was very well respected in the oil 
and gas industry, known for his easygoing, levelheaded personality. He loved 
fishing, hunting, and golfing, and was an avid fan of the Mississippi State 
Bulldogs. His kind, gentle spirit will be deeply missed.
