Our family is praying for you all in your time of loss. What a blessing to know that Donny is in Heaven and pain-free and that we'll all one day see him when we get there. He was an exceptional man, full of laughter and happiness whenever I saw him. He was a powerful example to me growing up of what it meant to be a loving father and husband and later, a grandfather. His legacy lives on. Praying for peace and comfort for your family today. With Love, Michelle King & Family

Joanne, Beth, Talmadge and family,
It was with sadness I read about Donny. It was a honor and blessing to have grown up knowing him. I still remember meeting him when I was in my pre teen years. He was working with my Dad fixing something on a house. Our prayers are with you.

Donny is at rest now, at least now all the saints in Heaven will enjoy his fine
