God placed it on my heart to reach out to you at this time. I just heard today thru a friend about Donny"s death and I am sorry for your loss and I am glad that he had someone there to be by his side. Having lost my fiance in a MVA, I feel your pain and as a fellow Christian, I pray for God's peace at this time. Despite the past, I have prayed for him in my prayers for healing. Please express my condolences to his family. I am glad he remarried and got to be a daddy which he always wanted so much in this life.

Don passed away too young! I was so shocked to read that he is no longer with us. Worked with him when I first joined the force. Great man, good citizen and friend. He will be missed no doubt by all who knew him. Won my first bocci tourney w/him as my mentor. Godspeed Don!
