William Donald "Don" Voiles, 76, of Chattanooga, Tennessee passed away on April 27, 2024.

Don was born on August 21, 1947, in New Market, Tennessee where he grew up. He made his profession of faith at age 10 and was very active in Flat Gap Baptist Church. After graduating from Jefferson City High School in 1965, he attended Carson Newman College. There he earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and met the love of his life, Beverly Brazell Voiles. Together they moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1968 and raised three sons.

Don worked as an accountant until 1987 helping companies transition to computerized bookkeeping, after which he established a long career in heavy equipment sales at Case. In 2001, recognizing the huge potential of the Internet as a platform for growth and connection, he founded Industry Equipment Co. He continued to broker construction equipment until his passing. Don was skilled in locating the right equipment and often assisted in finding financing and upcoming projects. He made it a priority to know his buyers' needs, expertise, and helpers. Don was known for being a trusted advisor and friend to his customers.

Don, an avid square dancer, epitomized the spirit of community and camaraderie within the square-dancing circles of Tennessee and North Georgia. He was actively involved in multiple clubs and served as a vital link, disseminating flyers, calendars, and email notifications to ensure everyone stayed connected and informed. He was a devoted father and grandfather who could always be found with a camera in hand capturing birthdays, holidays, milestones, and time spent among family. Whether it was a business venture, genealogy, or building and improving their homes, he loved working on projects with his kids. Grandaddy, also known as Doo-dah, never missed an opportunity to spend time with his grandchildren and unfailingly used the occasion to share something sweet.

Don is preceded in death by his father, James Monroe Voiles, and his mother, Mary Kate Churchman Voiles.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Beverly Brazell Voiles; sons, Bruce Voiles (Amy), Carson Voiles (Bethany), and Josh Voiles (Nikki); his brother, Jack Voiles (Judy); seven grandchildren, Jenna, Rylan, Jackson, Travin, Emmalynn, Mason, and Ashlynn; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

He will be sadly missed and will always hold a place in our hearts.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, May 2, 2024, from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. at Turner Funeral Home @ Hwy 58. A memorial service will follow in the chapel with Chris Coats officiating.
