Donn R. Tatman

Donn R. Tatman, 82, of Greensburg, Indiana, passed away on December 29, 2025, at Decatur County Memorial Hospital. He was born on January 23, 1943, in Decatur County, the son of Theodore and Amy (Menefee) Tatman.

Donn graduated from Burney High School in 1961. He spent his professional life in sales and marketing, where he built strong relationships and earned the respect of colleagues and clients. After retiring, he devoted his time to the things he loved most—especially golf. As a long-time member of the Greensburg Country Club, he cherished the friendships, camaraderie, and countless rounds shared there. Donn also had a lifelong love for animals, particularly his dogs, who brought him constant comfort and joy.

In February of 2004, Donn married Patti E. Nagel, and she survives. His family was a source of pride and happiness, and he leaves behind many who loved him dearly, including his nieces: Tammy (Shane) Sullivan, Lisa (Bill) Rawlings, and Emily (Kris) Ambrose; and his nephews: Richard (Becky) Parker, Burke (Renee) Nagel, Peter (Natalie) Nagel, Christian (Kelsey) Nagel, Alex (Ashley) Nagel, Kyle (Emily Sears) Nagel, and Colin (Kammi) Glitsch. He is also survived by his brothers-in-law, Bruce (Jane) Nagel and Richard (Kathy) Nagel.

Donn was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Robert Tatman; his sister, Mary Parker; and his sister-in-law, Debbie Johnson.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to honor Donn’s memory. Memorial contributions may be made to the Greensburg Decatur County Animal Shelter or to Our Hospice of South Central Indiana.
