Donnie was one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. He was a wonderful step father and the BEST grandfather anyone could ever ask for. He adored all children and Evan thought he was absolutely the most wonderful thing in the world, he will be missed greatly and I will never forget the past 6 years god gave us with Donnie. We love you Da-Drey
Love always,
Debra, Dennis, Christopher and Evan

Uncle Donnie, you will always be in our hearts and remembered as truly one of the "good guys". I am so grateful for the times we shared throughout our time together from when I was a small child all the way to last summer when you gifted us with the art that we will always treasure; portraits of our daughter with her grandparents. May you rest in peace. Jeff, Shahwar and Mehvish

Elizabeth, Debra Ellen, Mom-Mom, Patrick and family:

I just wanted to let all of you know that I have been thinking of you during this difficult time.

I will miss Donnie's smile and sense of humor, he was such a sweet and loving man. I will also miss his enthusiasm, passion, and appreciation of fine photography. I will cherish the photographs he was so kind to take of my daughter forever. He will be truly missed.

Elizabeth,
I only knew you and Donnie when he was ill and in the hospital, but you both touched my heart. I will never forget this delightful man. He was a blessing to me when I cared for him.
He is peaceful now. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family.
