I worked with Donny for the last 20 years or so. I always saw a joy in his eye's when we worked on things together, even if we were in disagreement. He would give me that, "are you serious?" expression, and then the little smirk and smiling eyes would appear. I'll miss those moments and the conversations we would have.
I am so sorry for this far too early loss.

I worked with Donny for many years and he was always a like-able guy and easy to get along with. He always seemed to have a smile even when things were tough. He is going t be missed.

I am just seeing this terrible news now! I am shaking and tearing up. I dont have any words to express how sorry I am for Donny's entire Family. Donny was one of my BEST friends going thru H.S. I fondly remember the days playing Basketball & Football at Magnolia and swimming in Sluice Pond. He was a wonderful guy and would always be there to help his friends whenever needed. I am certain that he was even a better Husband and Father. I have truly lost a dear friend, he will be missed. God Bless!!
