Born on December 31, 1950 in Van Nuys, California to Harold and Lucille Ellefson, Don and his family moved to Nevada County in 1989. He served in the U.S. Army and later started a successful hardwood flooring business, Don’s Hardwood Floors, which he owned and operated since 1978. Through his work he demonstrated his artistry and poured his heart into every floor he layed. Always living up to his values of quality and tradition.

 

Don lived his life for his family and God. He was always looking for someone to help. He will continue to shine on in our hearts forever.

 

Don was a consummate family man with a keen sense of adventure. He enjoyed all water activities and was especially fond of surfing, boating, and fishing. Golfing and scenic motorcycle rides were among his favorite pastimes. He especially loved sharing these moments with family, friends, and his dog Monty. Don was a faithful and active member of Twin Cities Church since 1997.

 

He is survived by his three children; Cliff Ellefson, Ashley Ellefson, Kimberly Ellefson; brother Robert Ellefson, and dog Monty.

 

Don is preceded in death by his parents Harold and Lucille, and brother Richard Ellefson.
