noting how they had been his "irreplaceable buddies."
The post included a flame and the words "Rest in Peace." On September 9, 2022, alongside a photo of a crown on a black background, the vocalist shared the news of the loss of Don at age 94.

The star's book "Rod: The Autobiography" also revealed how he'd lost his sister Peggy. He believed she'd gone too soon when she passed and honored his siblings during his other sister's birthday.
In January 2019, Rod's sister, Mary Cady, celebrated her 90th birthday in Iver, Bucks. While attending the event with his wife, Penny Lancaster, the star paid tribute to the birthday girl and the now-late Don, saying:
"I've got to tell you, these guys were instrumental in supporting me, helping me get into music and just being there for me."

The musician, who had four siblings, noted how his siblings helped him with things like washing his dirty underpants or football and that he couldn't speak "highly enough" about them. Rod loved them all, stating:
"These guys have just been [expletive] brilliant throughout my life."
Speaking to Don, the singer acknowledged how they'd had arguments and physical fights now and again, but he loved them. Lancaster's famous husband also declared his love to Cady.
Addressing the audience again, he said he was proud of them for turning up at his sister's special event that night. Even though he and his siblings lived busy lives, in 2021, they celebrated Christmas with other family members.
In a December 26, 2021, Twitter post by Rod, the family gathered together and posed for a photo. Despite losing most of his siblings by November 2022, the singer was lucky to have his beloved sister, Cady, still.
