Donald Edward Radel, age 58 of Pascagoula, passed away on Friday, June 12, 2026.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Janice Radel; his parents, Edward and Edwina Radel.

Donald is survived by his step daughter, Brittnay (Floyd) Ryan; his step son, Ernest Ray Ryan, Jr.; his step granddaughter, Kyleigh Ryan; his step grandson, Fisher Ros and his brother, Julius Eugene Vincent.

He dedicated 36 years of his life as a welder at Ingalls, a career he took great pride in. In his free time, he loved fishing, crabbing, and gathering family and friends for a good crawfish boil. He also enjoyed spending time at the shooting range. He was a big teddy bear with a kind and generous heart. He cherished his family, adored his dogs, and never hesitated to help anyone in need. Known for his loud laugh, quick humor, and larger-than-life personality, he brought joy wherever he went. Above all, he was a good man who was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.
