He is survived by his sister Stephanie Vetter and brother in-law Steve Carver, his long time partner, Yvette Otero, her daughter A'lisa Krek and granddaughter Ivy Apodaca.

its been 3 years and I am still crying for you. I think of you everyday. Ivy and A'Lisa still cry for you. You left three girls filled with sorrow. We all love you and miss you so much.
Just like the song "JUST BREATHE " says:
Did I say that I want you ?
Did I say that I need you ?
and
Hold me till I die, see you on the other side.
DONNIE, WE LOVE AND MISS YOU.

I still remember in HS, we were in line at the beginning of the year for something, when Donnie turned around and looked at me and said, "man you look like the Rifleman". He always had a smile on his face. Rest in Peace Donnie.
