He worked in mortgage lending for over 50 years, and was at First Bank for over 25 years.  Donnie helped many first time homebuyers with their loan.  Donnie also coached little league baseball in Burkburnett in the 1970s and 80s.

On June 1, 1973, Donnie married Beverly Park.  They lived in Burkburnett for over 45 years.  Donnie had two children, Scooter and Misty.

Donnie was an active member of First Baptist Church of Burkburnett.  Donnie was preceded in death by his parents and his wives Rita and Beverly.
