Don Alan

Collingsworth

Don Alan Collingsworth, 71, of Arlington, Texas, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on October 28, 2026.

Don was born with a creative gift which he dedicated to his profession as an artist and graphic designer. In keeping with his deep faith, he spent the latter part of his career working with Wycliffe Bible Translators. Don found fulfillment in this role to help spread the Gospel.

Above all else, Don was a devout Christian and an active member of Baruch HaShem Messianic Synagogue. He lead a Prison Ministry based on Messianic Jewish theology and a monthly Bible study for residents at a nursing home in Plano. Don cherished his quiet devotional time: reading the Scriptures, praying, and meditating daily.

Outside of his ministry work, Don enjoyed following Formula 1 racing and golf. In their later years, Don cared for his aging parents, ensuring they were loved, comforted, and looked after until their passing.

Don was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Pearl Don Stidham and Paul Jay Collingsworth, Sr.

He is survived by three siblings, who will miss his gentle spirit and mature Christian influence: his sister, Diane Lowry, and her husband, Dan; his brother, Paul J. Collingsworth, and his wife, Ramona; and his sister, Beverly Benet, and her husband, Rick. He also leaves behind extended family and his fellowship congregants.

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)
