Donald W. "Donny" Strauch III

I remember Donny from as far back as I can remember. I knew him from Elementary School until MCC days. I remember he always had to work at the Stationary Store after school and sometimes myself and a few others would walk to the store and pretend to buy something just to kind of flirt with him. My Thoughts go out to his family. I am totally at a loss for any more words what a loss...

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to Donnys' family and friends.
Sorry to hear that he left us all to soon. Many good memories from a fellow band member and school mate. Ed Barajas

I was so sorry to here about Donny's passing. Since Donny grew up in Mesa, he & his family were regulars for many years at the El Charro. His bright smile and witty conversation will be truly missed by my family and I. May his family find comfort in their most fondest memories and the wonderful memories that will live on in all that knew him.

Marc and I were so sorry to hear of Donny's passing, he was much too young. When I read Bridget's comment about Donny's smile it immediately brought his image to my mind with that big goofy smile of his. Like many, I have known Donny since elementary school and I have a lot of fond memories of his kind and gentle personality. I send my condolences and prayers to Donny's family.

God bless and take care of the Strauch family. Donny and I were old neighborhood friends. From helping each other with paper routes to lifting a watermelon or two from the local farmers patch,,, We always had a good time. R.I.P. Donny.

It's so hard to hear that another friend has passed on. I've known Don for as long as I can remember, from Junior Assembly on. May Don's family be blessed with peace.

I have such fond memories of Donny dating back to Carson Junior High. We had a lot of fun back then and Donny was a good friend. My thoughts go to Donny's family.

I was so sorry to hear that Donny passed away. The last time I saw Donny was about 10 years ago at a Halloween get-together with several of the old neighborhood gang. Those times were filled with fond remembrances. We were friends from elementary school to adulthood. Although I have not seen Donny in many years, knowing he is gone makes me feel like a bit of myself is gone too.
