Donald Daniel Dragan

Mr. Donald Daniel “Don” Dragan, husband of the late Gloria T. Dragan and a resident of Onancock, VA, passed away Tuesday, January 7, 2020 at the age of 96. Born February 23, 1923 in Redding, PA, he was one of seven children born to the late Stephen and Naomi Dragan.

Following high school, Don enlisted in the United States Navy and was a proud World War II veteran. As the former owner and operator of the legendary Onancock restaurant, Forks Grill, and later, as Onancock and Accomac’s rural route mail carrier, Don was well known throughout the Eastern Shore community. He was a longtime member of Melfa United Methodist Church and V.F.W. Post 2296, in Tasley, VA. Over the years Don enjoyed going fishing, his daily newspaper puzzles, and when necessary, a little woodworking. He loved to eat and looked forward to his daily gatherings with friends at local restaurants. Don adored his family and shared a special bond with his grandsons, all of whom will greatly miss his presence.

Don is survived by his daughters, Chandra “Dee” Dragan of Arlington, VA, and Lori Egan and husband, Peter, of Fredericksburg, VA; grandsons, Daniel T. Egan and Travis J. Egan; step grandson, Paul Egan; and several nieces and nephews.
