Don was born in Seattle, Washington on July 27th, 1947, to Victor and Dolores Hundahl. HE attended elementary school in Newhalem, Washington and high school in Concrete, Washington. During his high school years, he enjoyed playing sports including football where he excelled as the center for his team. He was well liked by fellow students and was involved in student government as well as many groups and clubs. At the age of 16, Don began working for Seattle City Light as a Laborer. He became interested in power generation and spent many years working his way up in the company, working at all 3 powerhouses before becoming Supervisor of Gorge Powerhouse. He retired from Seattle City Light in the early 90's after spending half a decade as the Supervisor for the Skagit Project for Seattle City Light. To those close to him, he was known as 'Dam Boss'. Donald loved his career and all of the people he worked so closely with. Many of his fondest memories were made during his years at Seattle City Light. He believed in hard work and doing any job to the best of his ability. He was proud of always building perfect wiring runs. Don married his high school sweetheart, Carol (Corky) Hundahl in 1965.

They also opened Phoenix House, a fourplex housing 14 men in recovery. Don and Corky provided substance abuse treatment services for 23 years. He will be greatly missed in the recovery community. Don had a passion for motorcycles and vintage trucks. Throughout his life a motorcycle was always parked close by. He rode to Sturgis and through Idaho and Montana with friends. He also loved to travel with his wife and family. He was an avid collector of large, ornate skull rings and fancy watches.
