Donald W. Wheaton Jr.

It was a pleasant surprise to discover you as the train conductor on my train to Boston. You always took care of everyone. From the first time I met you in high school and beyond. You will be sorely missed by many.

Donnie, you were such a nice guy in high school. Always a truth sayer. Such a good friend to so many. I was crazy about Larry and you finally told me why he stopped seeing me. Wish I knew where he was or how he was doing now. Loved seeing you as a conductor on the train to Boston.Rest in peace, Don. Until we meet again...

I found a memorial shirt of his in a thrift store. I bought it out of respect, and dare I say I made a good choice. I have no clue who Donald was, but I can say with full certainty that I would've wanted to meet him. His memory will live on within the fibers of this shirt and beyond only the circle of those who knew him.

My condolences to the entire Wheaton family. May Donnie R.I.P.

Rest In Paradise My Friend!!!!

Kathy and Jill and Nick;

Our hearts break for you and the kids during this tragic time. Please feel free to reach out if you need anything. ♥

Sorry to hear about Donnies passing, he was the nicest guy, and condolences to Kathy, Jill, Nick and Family. He will be greatly missed. From the first time i met Donnie, i knew this man was special. Donnie was one to think of others, then himself. Others came first. Donnie Rest in Peace. The Patriots lost their number one fan.

It is sad to hear about Donnie. I knew him as "Wheatoes". Back in the early '80's when he hung around with the Gunsmoke crowd. We wrote a song around '81 and named it after Donnie. It was called the "Wheatoes Express". I always cherish the participation in that song, and how Donnie inspired us to be creative. He frequented gigs and always helped. He was funny as heck sometimes. Peace to Donnie and his family.
