Jeffrey Donner

Jeff Donner was one of two priests from our seminary class at St. Paul's. He had a large influence on me at that time. I will always be grateful for the wisdom and care that he showed even at that young age nearly 40 years ago. Go with God, Jeff,and enjoy your eternal reward. A special blessing to your mother, who opened her home to me and was so nice to my mother years ago.

I was present at Jeff's first Mass at St. Mary's University parish and had the privledge to get to know him over the 7 years I was at CMU. What a wonderful man is was and what a blessing he was to so many people. God bless you Jeff! You will forever be missed!

Dear Family,
You have my sympathy. I have known Fr. through his Catholic Weekly articles for many years and was priveleged to meet him through my cousin, Fr. Van Mullekom. Fr. died in August and Jeff played the organ at his funeral along with Mr. Borkinski at the piano. I thought they played together often but they said it was the first time and it was awesome. I will remember your family in my prayers. Love,Joanne DeCorte, 200 N Johnson st. Bay City, Mi 48708 St. Boniface Parish

I remember Father Jeff from his days at St. Hyacinth and when he had a radio show. I was in grade school at the time. He always had such a way of interacting with people that just drew them in and made them want to listen to what he was saying.

He was truly a nice man who made an impact on me. He will be missed.

Fr Donnor was a wonderful human being. I remember him when I was a little girl growing up at St Hyacinth's parish in Bay City. I was always able to relate to him! We will all miss him deeply. My sympathies to all who knew him. Sheri Trombley

May we always live with the spirit of an individual who I believe to be one most iluminating manifestations of the divine that I have ever met.

Father Jeff had a great impact on my life while I was at CMU. He seemed to understand what we were going through as college kids and was able to relate to us on that level. He will be greatly missed

JEFF DONNER WAS THE MOST HUMAN PRIEST THAT I HAVE KNOWN. MY FAMILY
AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM.
MAY HE REST IN PIECE AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON HIM...

THY KINGDOM COME.

My family got to know Jeff from the 9 years he spent in our community of Chesaning. He had a wonderful sense of humor and at times you felt he had been hiding in your living room with his insightful sermons. He had so much more to give, good-bye friend we will see you soon.
