Donald Dean Slaughter Sr. was born May 21, 1955 in Detroit, Michigan to Aurelius Officer and Hattie Slaughter.
Donald accepted Christ an early age as a member of Community Christian Reformed Church in Detroit, Michigan. He was currently a member of Greater Galilee Church in Flint, Michigan. Donald attended Detroit Public School graduating from Detroit Northern in 1972. Soon after graduation, Donald joined the United States Army, being honorably discharged. He would go on to marry his first love, which would bring Donald Jr. who everyone knows as “Bubba.”
In 2000, he would head north for better opportunities in Flint, Michigan and worked hard to secure an Associate’s Degree in General Studies from Mott Community College and Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan-Flint. He also obtained multiple certificates in Alcohol and Drug Counseling. Donald’s hobbies included listening to music and taking pictures. He was known for taking lots of pictures at all the parties, picnics, and family gatherings where he was always the life of the party.
Donald is survived by his only son, Donald Slaughter Jr. (Kenyada); granddaughter, Nijah Slaughter; sister, Sandra Slaughter; brother, Darryl Slaughter; favorite cousin, Roger Parker; nephew, Dominick Slaughter; special friends, Valerie Rutledge, Thomasina Terrell, Felisha Wall, Richard Davis, and his forever sweetheart, Gwendolyn “Faye” Sims; numerous uncles, aunts, cousins and a host of family and friends; and let’s not forget his sidekick “Max” who he loved dearly.
He is preceded in death by his parents; and his precious niece, Arlesia Slaughter, who he affectionately named “Shorty.”
Special thanks to Nurse Michelle and Guardian Angel Hospice Center and the NA/AA and CA family.
