Donnie was a priceless person. He helped all our family especially in hard times. When he did work for me and my Brother we would ask "Is that all you are going to charge" He would look back and say "Well, I can charge you more if you want" The Lord already had an angel here on earth and I suppose needed another one upstairs!

Donnie has been a great help to me and my family. He was always helping someone. It seemed no matter what it was you needed he knew someone that could help you out. Donnie was a good neighbor and friend. We will miss him and his all knowing chuckle here in Clinton.My condolences to his wife and the rest of his family Sincerely,Robin Nelson and Charlene Burt

I had the privilege of working with Donnie, and also to spend some time with him while hunting and fishing. He always seemed to be happy and full of life. The way he lived his life and treated others was a blessing and inspiration to many and will be missed. My prayers and condolences are extended to his family.
