He was born September 22, 1934 in Mansfield the son of O.R. and Clella (Moody) Gray Millsap. In 1954, he was united in marriage to Priscilla Johnson and four children were born to this union. Don lived in several different towns and enjoyed his employment as a carpenter, mechanic, oilfield worker and rancher. But his real passion centered around his horses and horse trading.
