[quote=Nickelodeon Facebook]Don was so loved around here that he was forever immortalized by making cameos in episodes of Spongebob Squarepants, Fanboy & Chum Chum, and Invader Zim. He listened and loved, he cared about everyone he came in contact with, and never ceased to let life's challenges bring him down.
When Don was given lemons… Don made jokes. His impact on everyone who entered the gates of Nickelodeon for all of those years will not be forgotten.[/quote]

Holy shit, he was Old Kid in Zim? That blew past me, even to this day, thought it was just something funny they added.
Don was awesome, R.I.P Don...
"never ceased to let life's challenges bring him down."
this sentence means the opposite of what they meant for it to mean

I still remember watching this when I was a child and having no idea who the guy was.
R.I.P Don Newhouse, you're probably meeting Ernest Borgnine again by now.
