- Attention ADA Community -

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Major General Donald R. Infante, a remarkable leader, patriot, husband, father, and friend. His lifelong dedication to our nation, his unwavering leadership, and his compassion for those around him leave behind a legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.

From his distinguished military career to his contributions in advancing the Patriot missile defense system, General Infante exemplified honor, integrity, and service above self. Beyond his many accomplishments, he was remembered most for the kindness, dignity, and respect he showed to everyone he encountered.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Infante family and all who had the privilege of knowing and serving alongside him. May his memory forever be a blessing, and may he rest in eternal peace.

🇺🇸 Rest easy, General. First to Fire, always.

Celebrate the life of Donald Infante, leave a kind word or memory and get funeral service information care of Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park & Funeral Home.
