Donald James Markey

To the Markey Family: My name is Rosalinda Callejas and I am a former grammar school classmate of Donald's. We are hosting our 1973 St. Emydius Class Reunion on September 14, 2019 in San Francisco. We are going to have a Memorial Table of photos of our classmates who have passed away. We would like you to know that Donald will be remembered at our Mass and Reception. Our heartfelt condolences to the family. Your father and husband was a lovely young man with great wit! The 1973 Class...

I am sorry that it has taken this long to learn of Don's death. Don and I first meet while working at C&L in Seattle. We became close friends as the years past. He will always have a very special place in my heart. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Dietra, Brandon, Paula, Svitlana and family.

Though I did not know Don well (we would run the same route, work out at the same gym and enjoy the same beach) I always looked forward to seeing Alex and Don horsing around at the beach. Don always had a big smile and warm greeting. I think that was his way. He made people feel better. Svitlana and Alex - my heart goes out to you. Though sad you have left us the world is a little bit better because of you Don. Kerry Gleeson

Alexander there are so many wonderful things you should remember about your mother and father when you were 4. It was obvious they both loved YOU very much.
Your father always showed up to swimming with a smile as big as Yours. He would always prompt you to say good morning, good afternoon or Hello! You almost always had something to show me that was fun or cool! ( A toy etc!). “Look what I've got” you would say!
Your father never failed to make friends with the...

I had recently reconnected with Don after many years, however, it was like we had lost no time, that was just Don's way... My prayers go out to Svitlana and the Marky family, as this is true loss for all who knew Don those who did not have the chance to know him...

Our prayers and thoughts are with Dietra, Brandon and Paula.

Don went to grammer school with me at St. Emydius in San Francisco, we later met up again at USC. He always had a smile and was a good man, father, husband and friend. God Bless you all.

Prayers and Blessings to your family, Susan Toler Carr and Family

They Markeys' were our family friends in Redmond. Not only brother, Jon, and I went to daycare with Brandon and Paula, but I used to babysit Paula and Jon played with Brandon on multiple sports teams.

Donnie was a loud, funny guy. I haven't seen him in years, but weeks later I am still mourning his passing. As my brother's coach pushed for excellence and hard work, but always in a loving fun way.

I remember one time he was coaching and my brother was the point guard...
