Donald Bruce Killingbeck

Donald Bruce Killingbeck, 72, Westfield, passed away at 12:40 a.m. Friday February 13, 2026 in his home. He was born April 2, 1953 in Kokomo to Earl and Winifred (Fike) Killingbeck. On January 1, 1973 he married the love of his life, Judy Lee.

Don was a 1971 Kokomo High School graduate and earned his Bachelor of Science in Business from Indiana University in 1975.

Don and Judy traveled over their 53 years of marriage including Rome, Italy, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, and all over the U.S. Don prioritized time with family by planning yearly family vacations. Don was co-owner of Killingbeck Insurance and Tax Preparation and deeply cared for his customers for over 40 years. His service of others was evident in his time spent in Kiwanis. He loved model trains. He hand built and painted many train layouts with great care and accuracy. He would even travel to specific locations in the United States to re-create a specific landscape or train station. This love of trains was passed on to his grandchildren. He loved music and attending concerts with his daughter. Don was an award-winning gardener who took pride in his flower gardens and landscaping. Faith was important and Sundays were “family days” for the Killingbecks. Don also led a church small group for 20 years and enjoyed planning church monthly movie nights for many years.
