Donnie was always laughing, joking, he was there for you in your time of need. He respected everyone, always joyful, and while working he made the day easier with his help, and knowledge. His Family was the light of his life. Donnie had a lot of Friends at Va Tech not only with the Electric Service, but with other departments. We will never forget Donnie and we Pray for all the Family and Friends

My thoughts and prayers are with all of Donnie's family at this difficult time. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. I only have good thoughts of Donnie as the happy and friendly person he was every time you saw him, always the same, no matter what. Laughing, joking and picking on you so that you had to laugh with him. May the good memories, all the laughs and good times you shared, and knowing what a Special Person Donnie was stay close to your heart during these difficult times and in the months to come.
