Donald Yowell was a chemist at Accurate Energetic Systems before an explosion rocked the munitions plant Oct. 10 in Bucksnort, Tennessee.

The 58-year-old was identified by authorities as one of 16 workers who was missing and presumed dead in the days that followed the blast.

He, his surviving wife, Khraila, and son, Josh Yowell, were members of the Compassion Church of Waverly, though church staff refused to comment on the explosion and loss of life.
