Donald Ray Coultis, age 80, passed away on October 23, 2026, in Wichita, Kansas.

Don was born in Wichita, Kansas, to Mary Virginia Wood-Coultis and Robert Clark Coultis. He graduated from Wichita West High School and, following graduation, served in the U.S. Army as an engineer in Korea. He went on to work in sales and later owned his own business before retiring in 2011.

Don was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who always put his family first. He would do anything for those he loved and made sure they never had to wonder how much they meant to him. He was always there to support them, encourage them, and let them know how proud he was of them. Don enjoyed spending time with his family, fishing, and building or repairing just about anything. He was an avid sports fan who especially loved watching his grandchildren and great grandchildren play. He will be remembered for his many talents, his willingness to lend a hand, and the time he shared with those he loved.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Coultis; his mother, Mary Coultis-Pankratz; his stepfather, George Pankratz; his brothers, Robert Coultis, Jr., and Kenneth Daniel Coultis; and his sister, Marilyn McLean.

He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Judy Coultis; his daughters, Monica Coultis (Rick) and Brandy Sayre (Jason); his grandchildren, Kylie Depew (Corbin), Katelynn Fewin (Kodie), Miranda Costello (Kevin), Mariah Benchama (Joseph), Cole Coultis (Morgan), and Mitchell Trible; his step-grandsons, Levi and Colin Sayre; six great grandchildren; his sister, Enid Albrecht (Robert); and his brothers, George Ingram Pankratz (Mitzi) and John Mel Pankratz (Lorri).
