Donald Steve Cisar was born on Thursday, December 7, 1950 at Yankton, South Dakota. His parents were Charles and Adeline (Placek) Cisar. He grew up in Scotland and graduated from Scotland High School in 1969. After high school, he was drafted into the Army and served from 1970 to 1971 in Vietnam. After his military service, Don attended Mitchell VoTech and earned a degree in Electrical Construction and Maintenance. Don was united in marriage to Barbara Mutschelknaus at Martinus Lutheran Church in Utica on October 28, 1972. Following his graduation from Mitchell VoTech, they moved to Gillette, Wyoming, where Don worked as an electrician in a coal mine. Then in 1992 he began teaching the Electrical Construction and Maintenance program at Mitchell VoTech. Don spent the last years of his near 40-year career as an electrician working for NuStar Energy. He was an active member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, where he served as a trustee. He was a lifetime member of the Scotland V.F.W. He served on the advisory board at Mitchell VoTech and was a member of the Scotland Volunteer Fire Department. Don loved fishing and hunting, particularly for catfish and pheasants. He enjoyed smoking and barbecuing many different kinds of meats. Don shared each of his passions with his three boys, each in a special way. He also enjoyed trapshooting on a local league. He was known for his perfectionism in his work and his willingness to help anyone that needed him. Don died suddenly on Friday, April 23, 2010 at Lakes Regional Healthcare in Spirit Lake, Iowa, having attained the age of 59 years, 4 months and 16 days.
Don’s memory will live forever in the hearts of his wife, Barb Cisar of Scotland; his three sons: Patrick (Jennifer) Cisar and their daughter, Georgia of Kansas City, Kansas, Topher (Amy) Cisar and their children Hannah, Hailey, Hadyson and Hudson of Sioux Falls and Jon Cisar of Sioux Falls; his mother, Adeline Cisar of Scotland; and his brother, Jim Cisar of Scotland.  He is also survived by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Filmore and Darlene Mutschelknaus of Lesterville, his  many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, all of their families, and a multitude of friends.
Don was preceded in death by his father, Charles Cisar in 1985.
