Our hearts are heavy as we remember our dear friend, Don Fleming.

Don was so much more than the longtime co-owner of Valencia Acura. He was a remarkable community leader, a generous philanthropist and a treasured friend to so many throughout the Santa Clarita Valley.

Over the years, our family had the privilege of knowing Don and witnessing firsthand the warmth, kindness and genuine care he showed to everyone around him. He had a special way of making people feel welcomed and valued. His larger-than-life personality, wonderful sense of humor and dedication to our community will be deeply missed.

Together with his beloved wife, Cheri, Don built a legacy rooted in friendship, service and giving back. Their generosity touched countless lives and strengthened many of the organizations that continue to serve our valley today.

Our deepest condolences go out to Don’s family, friends, the Valencia Acura family and everyone who loved him.

Thank you, Don, for your friendship, your leadership and everything you gave to the community we all love. Santa Clarita will not be the same without you, but your extraordinary legacy will live on.

With love and heartfelt sympathy,

Linda, Moe and Alexander Hafizi

Rest in peace, Don. You will never be forgotten. 💙
